Psalm 88:15-18 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

15. From my youth I have suffered and been close to death;I have borne your terrors and am in despair.

16. Your wrath has swept over me;your terrors have destroyed me.

17. All day long they surround me like a flood;they have completely engulfed me.

18. You have taken from me friend and neighbour –darkness is my closest friend.
