Psalm 88:15-18

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁵ Wretched and close to death from my youth up,
    I suffer your terrors; I am desperate.^[a](A)
16 Your wrath has swept over me;
    your dread assaults destroy me.
¹⁷ They surround me like a flood all day long;
    from all sides they close in on me.^(B)
18 You have caused friend and neighbor to shun me;
    my companions are in darkness.^(C)
