Psalm 88:14–16

14 Why, Lord, do you reject me

and hide your face from me?

15 From my youth I have suffered and been close to death;

I have borne your terrors and am in despair.

16 Your wrath has swept over me;

your terrors have destroyed me.

14 Lord, why Castest thou off my soul?

Why hidest thou thy face from me?

15 I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up:

While I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.

16 Thy fierce wrath goeth over me;

Thy terrors have cut me off.

14 O Lord, why do you reject me?

Why do you turn your face from me?

15 I have been sick and close to death since my youth.

I stand helpless and desperate before your terrors.

16 Your fierce anger has overwhelmed me.

Your terrors have paralyzed me.

14 Lord, why do You cast off my soul?

Why do You hide Your face from me?

15 I have been afflicted and ready to die from my youth;

I suffer Your terrors;

I am distraught.

16 Your fierce wrath has gone over me;

Your terrors have cut me off.

14 Lord, why do you reject me?

Why do you hide from me?

15 I have been weak and dying since I was young.

I suffer from your terrors, and I am helpless.

16 You have been angry with me,

and your terrors have destroyed me.

14 Jehovah, why castest thou off my soul?

Why hidest thou thy face from me?

15 I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up:

While I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.

16 Thy fierce wrath is gone over me;

Thy terrors have cut me off.

14 Why, O Jehovah, castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me? 15 I am afflicted and expiring from my youth up; I suffer thy terrors, and I am distracted. 16 Thy fierce anger hath gone over me; thy terrors have brought me to nought:

14 Why do you reject my soul, O Lord? 

Why do you hide your face from me? 

15 Ever since I was young, I have been suffering and near death. 

I have endured your terrors, and now I am in despair. 

16 Your burning anger has swept over me. 

Your terrors have destroyed me. 

14 Lord, why do You reject me?

Why do You hide Your face from me?

15 From my youth,

I have been afflicted and near death.

I suffer Your horrors; I am desperate.

16 Your wrath sweeps over me;

Your terrors destroy me.

14 O Lord, why do you cast me off?

Why do you hide your face from me?

15 Wretched and close to death from my youth up,

I suffer your terrors; I am desperate.

16 Your wrath has swept over me;

your dread assaults destroy me.

14 Why do you reject my soul, O Yahweh?

Why do you hide your face from me?

15 I am afflicted and perishing from my youth.

I bear your terrors. I am distraught.

16 Your burning anger has passed over me;

your sudden fears have destroyed me.

14 Lord, why do you say no to me?

Why do you turn your face away from me?

15 I’ve been in pain ever since I was young.

I’ve been close to death.

You have made me suffer terrible things.

I have lost all hope.

16 Your burning anger has swept over me.

Your terrors have destroyed me.

14 O Lord, why do You reject my soul?

Why do You hide Your face from me?

15 I was afflicted and about to die from my youth on;

I suffer Your terrors; I am overcome.

16 Your burning anger has passed over me;

Your terrors have destroyed me.
