Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah.

Verse 7 is found in chapter 88 of Psalms. Psalm 88 is one of the darkest laments in the Psalter and ends without an explicit resolution. The petitioner is near death, isolated from friends, and surrounded by affliction. Precisely for this reason it is theologically significant: biblical prayer allows an experience to be brought before God even when no explanation or visible restoration has yet appeared. The continued cry to the Lord keeps the relationship open even within darkness.

Du hast mich in die Grube hinuntergelegt, in die Finsternis und in die Tiefe.
Sobre mí se ha acostado tu ira, Y me has afligido con todas tus ondas. (Selah.)
Tu furor pesa sobre mí, y me has afligido con todas tus olas. Selah.
Ta fureur s'appesantit sur moi, Et tu m'accables de tous tes flots. Pause.
L’ira tua si è posata sopra me, E tu mi hai abbattuto con tutti i tuoi flutti. Sela.
Sobre mim pesa o teu furor; tu me afligiste com todas as tuas ondas. (Selá.)
你的憤怒重壓我身, 你用一切的波浪困住我。(細拉)
