14. Why do you reject my very being, Lord?Why do you hide your face from me?
15. Since I was young I’ve been afflicted, I’ve been dying.I’ve endured your terrors. I’m lifeless.
16. Your fiery anger has overwhelmed me;your terrors have destroyed me.
17. They surround me all day long like water;they engulf me completely.
18. You’ve made my loved ones and companions distant.My only friend is darkness.
