Psalm 88:15–18

15 From my youth,

I have been suffering and near death.

I suffer your horrors; I am desperate.l

16 Your wrath sweeps over me;

your terrors destroy me.m

17 They surround me like water all day long;

they close in on me from every side.n

18 You have distanced loved one and neighbor from me;

darkness is my only friend.C,o
