Psalms 88:16
14 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.
Your wrath has swept over me; Your terrors have destroyed me.
17 All day long they engulf me like water; they enclose me on every side.
18 You have removed my beloved and my friend; darkness is my closest companion.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
