World English Bible
"You have put lover and friend far from me, and my friends into darkness. A contemplation by Ethan, the Ezrahite."
— Psalms 88:18, World English Bible
“Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness. ”
“Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, And mine acquaintance into darkness. ”
“You cause my friends and neighbors to keep their distance; those who know me leave me alone in the darkness.”
“For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy good pleasure shall our horn be exalted.”
“You have sent my friends and lovers far from me; I am gone from the memory of those who are dear to me.”
“Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness. ”
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.
