World English Bible
"I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up. While I suffer your terrors, I am distracted."
— Psalms 88:15, World English Bible
“I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.”
“I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: While I suffer thy terrors I am distracted. ”
“I am oppressed and have been on the verge of death since my youth. I have been subjected to your horrors and am numb with pain.”
“Justice and judgment are the preparation of thy throne. Mercy and truth shall go before thy face:”
“I have been troubled and in fear of death from the time when I was young; your wrath is hard on me, and I have no strength.”
“I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.”
Are your wonders made known in the dark? Or your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
But to you, Yahweh, I have cried. In the morning, my prayer comes before you.
Yahweh, why do you reject my soul? Why do you hide your face from me?
I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up. While I suffer your terrors, I am distracted.
Your fierce wrath has gone over me. Your terrors have cut me off.
They came around me like water all day long. They completely engulfed me.
You have put lover and friend far from me, and my friends into darkness. A contemplation by Ethan, the Ezrahite.
