Rejected by You
Lord, I call to you for help; every morning I pray to you.
Why do you reject me, Lord? Why do you turn away from me?
Ever since I was young, I have suffered and been near death; I am worn out from the burden of your punishments.
Your furious anger crushes me; your terrible attacks destroy me.
All day long they surround me like a flood; they close in on me from every side.
You have made even my closest friends abandon me, and darkness is my only companion
-- Psalm 88:13-18 (Today's English Version)
