Psalms 88:14

DoubtLonelinessDiscouragement and depression

12 Will Your wonders be known in the darkness, or Your righteousness in the land of oblivion?

13 But to You, O LORD, I cry for help; in the morning my prayer comes before You.

Why, O LORD, do You reject me? Why do You hide Your face from me?

15 From my youth I was afflicted and near death. I have borne Your terrors; I am in despair.

16 Your wrath has swept over me; Your terrors have destroyed me.
