¹⁸ Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, And mine acquaintance into darkness. Psalm 89 Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite.

¹¹ My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague; And my kinsmen stand afar off.

⁸ Thou hast put mine acquaintance far from me; Thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.

¹¹ Because of all mine adversaries I am become a reproach, Yea, unto my neighbors exceedingly, And a fear to mine acquaintance: They that did see me without fled from me.

¹² His troops come on together, And cast up their way against me, And encamp round about my tent.

¹³ He hath put my brethren far from me, And mine acquaintance are wholly estranged from me.

¹⁴ My kinsfolk have failed, And my familiar friends have forgotten me.

¹⁵ They that dwell in my house, and my maids, count me for a stranger; I am an alien in their sight.
