Psalm 88:17

New American Bible - revised edition

Your wrath has swept over me; your terrors have destroyed me.

See the chapter Copy

I was caught by the cords of death; the snares of Sheol had seized me; I felt agony and dread.

Then the waters would have engulfed us, the torrent overwhelmed us;

As dry as a potsherd is my throat; my tongue cleaves to my palate; you lay me in the dust of death.

My soul is downcast within me; therefore I remember you From the land of the Jordan and Hermon, from Mount Mizar,

The princes of Judah have become like those who move a boundary line; Upon them I will pour out my wrath like water.
