15 Why do you reject my soul, Lord,and hide your face from me?
16 I have been mortally afflicted since youth;I have borne your terrors and I am made numb.
17 Your wrath has swept over me;your terrors have destroyed me.
18 All day they surge round like a flood;from every side they encircle me.
19 Because of you friend and neighbor shun me;my only friend is darkness.
