The Key Word — מָלְא֣וּ, mal.'Ugenerated
The verb מָלְא֣וּ (mal.'U) is in the perfect tense, third person plural, meaning 'they are full.' It indicates a state of being completely filled, which in this verse refers to the speaker's loins being filled with pain. The root carries the idea of fullness, whether in a physical or metaphorical sense, showing the intensity of the speaker's suffering.
This word is often used in various contexts, including both literal and figurative meanings, such as being full of joy or sorrow. Here, it starkly contrasts the idea of fullness with the absence of health, highlighting the depth of the psalmist's anguish.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb in this verse is מָלְא֣וּ, they are full, which governs the subject and the predicate. The structure places emphasis on the state of being filled with pain, with the rest of the sentence providing details about the speaker's condition.
The syntax shows a straightforward arrangement, with the subject 'my loins' followed by the description of their condition, leading to the conclusion that there is no soundness left in the body. This direct structure underscores the immediacy of the speaker's suffering.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates מָלְא֣וּ as τέλους, indicating a state of completion or fullness. This choice reflects the intensity of the speaker's condition, emphasizing that the pain is not only present but overwhelming.
The use of ἐταλαιπώρησα for נִקְלֶ֑ה suggests a more interpretive approach, focusing on the suffering aspect rather than the literal burning. This indicates an understanding of the pain as deeply rooted in the speaker's emotional and physical state.

The Masoretic Text aligns with the Septuagint in the main elements of the verse, showing that both traditions recognize the speaker's profound suffering. The Dead Sea Scrolls, however, show significant editorial restoration, indicating that while the core message is consistent, some specific wording has been reconstructed.
