Psalms 38:5 in Context — Psalms 38

3 Car tes flèches m’ont atteint, Et ta main s’est appesantie sur moi.

4 Il n’y a rien de sain dans ma chair à cause de ta colère, Il n’y a plus de vigueur dans mes os à cause de mon péché.

5 Car mes iniquités s’élèvent au-dessus de ma tête; Comme un lourd fardeau, elles sont trop pesantes pour moi.

6 Mes plaies sont infectes et purulentes, Par l’effet de ma folie.

7 Je suis courbé, abattu au dernier point; Tout le jour je marche dans la tristesse.
