13. But as for me, I cry for help to you, O Yahweh, and in the morning my prayer comes before you.
14. Why do you reject my soul, O Yahweh? Why do you hide your face from me?
15. I am afflicted and perishing from my youth. I bear your terrors. I am distraught.
16. Your burning anger has passed over me; your sudden fears have destroyed me.
17. They surround me like water all the day; they circle about me altogether.
18. You have removed loved one and friend far from me, my acquaintances far from my darkness.
