Like water they surge around me all day. They close in on me together.
Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, And mine acquaintance into darkness.
Lover and friend have You put far from me; my familiar friends are darkness and the grave.
You’ve made my loved ones and companions distant. My only friend is darkness.
For you are the glory of their virtue, and in your goodness, our horn will be exalted.
For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy good pleasure shall our horn be exalted.
All nations surrounded me— in the Name of Adonai I cut them off.
They surrounded me, yes, all around me— in the Name of Adonai I cut them off.
For my life is consumed in sorrow and my years in sighing. My strength fails because of my anguish and my bones waste away.
My heart pounds, my strength fails me. The light of my eyes—also, not with me.
Your wrath lies heavily on me. You afflicted me with all Your waves. Selah
