14 Lord why dost thou cast off my soul? Why is thy face against me bent?
15 Even from my early youth I was Afflicted, and as near to die; While I thy terrors do endure I almost as distracted lie.
16 Thy fierce wrath goeth over me, Thy terrors kill and cast me out:
17 Like floods they daily on me come, Gather and compass me about.
18 My dearest friends that did me love, Thou hast removed far from me; Those that my old acquaintance were Into the dark are cast by thee.
