13But to You, O LORD, I cry for help;
in the morning my prayer comes before You.
14Why, O LORD, do You reject me?
Why do You hide Your face from me?
15From my youth I was afflicted and near death.
I have borne Your terrors; I am in despair.
16Your wrath has swept over me;
Your terrors have destroyed me.
17All day long they engulf me like water;
they enclose me on every side.
18You have removed my beloved and my friend;
darkness is my closest companion.
— Psalm 88:13-18
