Psalm 88:13-18

New International Version

¹³ But I cry to you for help,^(A) Lord;
    in the morning^(B) my prayer comes before you.^(C)
14 Why, Lord, do you reject^(D) me
    and hide your face^(E) from me?

¹⁵ From my youth^(F) I have suffered^(G) and been close to death;
    I have borne your terrors^(H) and am in despair.^(I)
16 Your wrath^(J) has swept over me;
    your terrors^(K) have destroyed me.
¹⁷ All day long they surround me like a flood;^(L)
    they have completely engulfed me.
¹⁸ You have taken from me friend^(M) and neighbor—
    darkness is my closest friend.
