Psalm 88:13-18 English Standard Version (ESV)

13. But I, O Lord, cry to you; in the morning my prayer comes before you.

14. O Lord, why do you cast my soul away?Why do you hide your face from me?

15. Afflicted and close to death from my youth up,I suffer your terrors; I am helpless.

16. Your wrath has swept over me;your dreadful assaults destroy me.

17. They surround me like a flood all day long;they close in on me together.

18. You have caused my beloved and my friend to shun me;my companions have become darkness.
