Psalm 88:16-18

New Catholic Bible

¹⁶ Since infancy I have been wretched and close to death;
    I have borne your terrors
    and have now reached the point of exhaustion.
¹⁷ Your wrath has weighed down upon me;
    your terrors have destroyed me.
¹⁸ All day long they surround me like a flood;
    they encircle me completely.
