Psalms 88:13-18

¹³But I cry out to you for help; every morning I pray to you.

¹⁴Lord, why do you reject me? Why do you turn away from me?

¹⁵I have been sick since I was young, often at death's door. I have had to bear the terrible things you've done to me. I'm in despair!

¹⁶Your anger has overcome me; the terrible things you do have destroyed me.

¹⁷They surround me all the time like floodwaters, swallowing me up.

¹⁸You have made my family and friends avoid me. Darkness is my only friend.
