15I have been sick and close to death since my youth.
I stand helpless and desperate before your terrors.
16Your fierce anger has overwhelmed me.
Your terrors have paralyzed me.
17They swirl around me like floodwaters all day long.
They have engulfed me completely.
18You have taken away my companions and loved ones.
Darkness is my closest friend.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
Afflicted and close to death from my youth up,
I suffer your terrors; I am helpless.
Your wrath has swept over me;
your dreadful assaults destroy me.
They surround me like a flood all day long;
they close in on me together.
You have caused my beloved and my friend to shun me;
my companions have become darkness.

From my youth I have suffered and been close to death;
I have borne your terrors and am in despair.
Your wrath has swept over me;
your terrors have destroyed me.
All day long they surround me like a flood;
they have completely engulfed me.
You have taken from me friend and neighbor—
darkness is my closest friend.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
From my youth,
I have been suffering and near death.
I suffer your horrors; I am desperate.
Your wrath sweeps over me;
your terrors destroy me.
They surround me like water all day long;
they close in on me from every side.
You have distanced loved one and neighbor from me;
darkness is my only friend.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
I am afflicted and perishing from my youth.
I bear your terrors. I am distraught.
Your burning anger has passed over me;
your sudden fears have destroyed me.
They surround me like water all the day;
they circle about me altogether.
You have removed loved one and friend far from me,
my acquaintances far from my darkness.

KJV 1900King James Version
I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up:
While I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.
Thy fierce wrath goeth over me;
Thy terrors have cut me off.
They came round about me daily like water;
They compassed me about together.
Lover and friend hast thou put far from me,
And mine acquaintance into darkness.
