Psalm 38:4 in context

The verses around it, from Psalm 38.

1 A Psalm of David, for remembrance. O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger or discipline me in Your wrath.

2 For Your arrows have pierced me deeply, and Your hand has pressed down on me.

3 There is no soundness in my body because of Your anger; there is no rest in my bones because of my sin.

4 For my iniquities have overwhelmed me; they are a burden too heavy to bear.

5 My wounds are foul and festering because of my sinful folly.

6 I am bent and brought low; all day long I go about mourning.

7 For my loins are full of burning pain, and no soundness remains in my body.

8 I am numb and badly crushed; I groan in anguish of heart.
