or your faithfulness in Abaddon?

16Your wrath has swept over me;

your dread assaults destroy me.

17 Ps 22.16 They surround me like a flood all day long;

from all sides they close in on me.

18 Job 19.13; Ps 31.11; 38.11 You have caused friend and neighbor to shun me;

my companions are in darkness.
