Psalms 102:5

Because of the anxiety that makes me groan, my bones protrude from my skin. ¹ 

Because of my loud groaning I am reduced to skin and bones.

Because of the loudness of my groaning My bones cling to my flesh.

Because of my groaning, I am reduced to skin and bones.

My jaws ache from gritting my teeth; I'm nothing but skin and bones.

Because of the voice of my sorrow, my flesh is wasted to the bone.

Because of my loud groaning my bones cling to my skin.

Because of the sound of my groaning My bones cling to my skin.

Because of the anxiety that makes me groan, my bones protrude from my skin. ¹ 

¹ tn Heb “from the sound of my groaning my bone[s] stick to my flesh.” The preposition at the beginning of the verse is causal; the phrase “sound of my groaning” is metonymic for the anxiety that causes the groaning. The point seems to be this: Anxiety (which causes the psalmist to groan) keeps him from eating (v. 4). This physical deprivation in turn makes him emaciated – he is turned to “skin and bones,” so to speak.
