SCRIPTURE

"Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; for I am withered away: O Jehovah, heal me; for my bones are troubled." — Psalms 6:2 (ASV)

I am weak. —Properly, wither, or waste with disease, or languish, as in Hosea 4:3; Isaiah 16:8.

Vexed. —So Septuagint and Vulgate. Literally, affrighted. (Compare to Virgil’s gelidusque per ima cucurrit Ossa tremor.)
