14. Why, O Jehovah, castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me?
15. I am afflicted and expiring from my youth up; I suffer thy terrors, and I am distracted.
16. Thy fierce anger hath gone over me; thy terrors have brought me to nought:
17. They have surrounded me all the day like water; they have compassed me about together.
18. Lover and associate hast thou put far from me: my familiar friends are darkness.
