88:15 I am oppressed and have been on the verge of death since my youth. 1
I have been subjected to your horrors and am numb with pain. 2
88:16 Your anger overwhelms me; 3
your terrors destroy me.
88:17 They surround me like water all day long;
they join forces and encircle me. 4
88:18 You cause my friends and neighbors to keep their distance; 5
those who know me leave me alone in the darkness. 6
