13. Lord, I call to you for help;every morning I pray to you.
14. Why do you reject me, Lord?Why do you turn away from me?
15. Ever since I was young, I have suffered and been near death;I am worn out from the burden of your punishments.
16. Your furious anger crushes me;your terrible attacks destroy me.
17. All day long they surround me like a flood;they close in on me from every side.
