Psalm 88:14-18

New International Version

¹⁴ Why, Lord, do you reject^(A) me
    and hide your face^(B) from me?

¹⁵ From my youth^(C) I have suffered^(D) and been close to death;
    I have borne your terrors^(E) and am in despair.^(F)
16 Your wrath^(G) has swept over me;
    your terrors^(H) have destroyed me.
¹⁷ All day long they surround me like a flood;^(I)
    they have completely engulfed me.
¹⁸ You have taken from me friend^(J) and neighbor—
    darkness is my closest friend.
