Psal CPDV 87:4  For my soul has been filled with evils, and my life has drawn near to Hell.
Psal CPDV 87:5  I am considered to be among those who will descend into the pit. I have become like a man without assistance,
Psal CPDV 87:6  idle among the dead. I am like the wounded sleeping in sepulchers, whom you no longer remember, and who have been repelled by your hand.

Psal CPDV 87:15  Lord, why do you reject my prayer? Why do you turn your face away from me?
Psal CPDV 87:16  I am poor, and I have been amid hardships from my youth. And, though I have been exalted, I am humbled and disturbed.
Psal CPDV 87:17  Your wrath has crossed into me, and your terrors have disturbed me.
Psal CPDV 87:18  They have surrounded me like water, all day long. They have surrounded me, all at once.
Psal CPDV 87:19  Friend and neighbor, and my acquaintances, you have sent far away from me, away from misery.
