Psalms 88:18

You cause my friends and neighbors to keep their distance; ¹  those who know me leave me alone in the darkness. ² 

You have taken my companions and loved ones from me; the darkness is my closest friend.

You have removed lover and friend far from me; My acquaintances are in darkness.

You have taken away my companions and loved ones; only darkness remains.

You made lover and neighbor alike dump me; the only friend I have left is Darkness.

You have sent my friends and lovers far from me; I am gone from the memory of those who are dear to me.

You have caused friend and neighbor to shun me; my companions are in darkness.

Loved one and friend You have put far from me, And my acquaintances into darkness.

You cause my friends and neighbors to keep their distance; ¹  those who know me leave me alone in the darkness. ² 

¹ tn Heb “you cause to be far from me friend and neighbor.”

² tn Heb “those known by me, darkness.”
