Psalm 88:15-17

New International Reader's Version

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 great anger has swept over me.
    Your terrors have destroyed me.
¹⁷ All day long they surround me like a flood.
    They have closed in all around me.
