Psalms 88:15-18
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.Your anger overwhelms me; your terrors destroy me.They surround me like water all day long; they join forces and encircle me.You cause my friends and neighbors to keep their distance; those who know me leave me alone in the darkness.

Psalms 69:14-20
Rescue me from the mud! Don’t let me sink! Deliver me from those who hate me, from the deep water!Don’t let the current overpower me! Don’t let the deep swallow me up! Don’t let the pit devour me!Answer me, O LORD, for your loyal love is good! Because of your great compassion, turn toward me!Do not ignore your servant, for I am in trouble! Answer me right away!Come near me and redeem me! Because of my enemies, rescue me!You know how I am insulted, humiliated and disgraced; you can see all my enemies.Their insults are painful and make me lose heart; I look for sympathy, but receive none, for comforters, but find none.
