NETBible

My wounds are infected and starting to smell, because of my foolish sins.

NET Notes

sn The reference to wounds may be an extension of the metaphorical language of v. 2. The psalmist pictures himself as one whose flesh is ripped and torn by arrows.

tn Heb “my wounds stink, they are festering” (cf. NEB).

tn Heb “from before my foolishness.”
