Psalms 88:17

Discouragement and depressionFearExhaustion

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.

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.
