Psalm 88:13-18

Christian Standard Bible

¹³ But I call to you for help, Lord;
in the morning my prayer meets you.^(A)
14 Lord, why do you reject me?^(B)
Why do you hide your face from me?^(C)
15 From my youth,
I have been suffering and near death.
I suffer your horrors; I am desperate.^(D)
16 Your wrath sweeps over me;
your terrors destroy me.^(E)
17 They surround me like water all day long;
they close in on me from every side.^(F)
18 You have distanced loved one and neighbor from me;
darkness is my only friend.^[a](G)
