88:7 Your anger bears down on me,
and you overwhelm me with all your waves. (Selah)
88:8 You cause those who know me to keep their distance;
you make me an appalling sight to them.
I am trapped and cannot get free. 1
88:18 You cause my friends and neighbors to keep their distance; 2
those who know me leave me alone in the darkness. 3
1 tn Heb “[I am] confined and I cannot go out.”
