Psaume 88:17 In-Context

15 Je suis malheureux et moribond dès ma jeunesse, Je suis chargé de tes terreurs, je suis troublé.

16 Tes fureurs passent sur moi, Tes terreurs m'anéantissent;

17 Elles m'environnent tout le jour comme des eaux, Elles m'enveloppent toutes à la fois.

18 Tu as éloigné de moi amis et compagnons; Mes intimes ont disparu.
