Psalms 88:16 meaning and explanation

Your wrath has swept over me; Your terrors have destroyed me.

Psalms 88:16, Berean Standard Bible

He does not describe enemies or illness here but traces his suffering to God's own wrath and terrors, which he pictures as floodwaters sweeping over him and overwhelming him completely.
