15. Adonai, why do You spurn me? Why do You hide Your face from me?
16. From my youth I have been afflicted and close to death. I suffer Your terrors—I am desperate!
17. Your fury has swept over me. Your terrors have cut me off.
18. Like water they surge around me all day. They close in on me together.
19. Friend and loved one You took far from me. Darkness has become my companion.
