Psalms 88
1 A song of a Psalm for the sons of Core for the end, upon Maeleth for responsive [strains], of instruction for Aeman the Israelite. O Lord God of my salvation, I have cried by day and in the night before you.
A song a psalm of [the] sons of Korah to the choirmaster on Machalath to sing a poem of Heman the Ezrachite. O Yahweh [the] God of salvation my day I have cried out in the night before you.
2 Let my prayer come in before you; incline your ear to my supplication, O Lord.
May it come before you prayer my incline ear your to cry of entreaty my.
For it is surfeited with troubles being my and life my to Sheol they have reached. (Sheol h7585)
4 I have been reckoned with them that go down to the pit; I became as a man without help;
I am reckoned with [those who] go down of [the] pit I am like a man [whom] there not [is] strength.
5 free among the dead, as the slain ones cast out, who sleep in the tomb; whom you remember no more; and they are rejected from your hand.
Among the dead a [person] set free like [those] slain - [who] lie of [the] grave whom not you remember them again and they from hand your they are cut off.
6 They laid me in the lowest pit, in dark [places], and in the shadow of death.
You have put me in a pit of lowest parts in [the] dark places in [the] depths.
7 Your wrath has pressed heavily upon me, and you have brought upon me all your billows. (Pause)
On me it has lain anger your and all breakers your you have afflicted [me] (Selah)
8 You have removed my acquaintance far from me; they have made me an abomination to themselves; I have been delivered up, and have not gone forth.
You have removed far away acquaintances my from me you have made me abominations to them [I am] shut up and not I will go out.
9 Mine eyes are dimmed from poverty; but I cried to you, O Lord, all the day; I spread forth my hands to you.
Eye my it is faint from affliction I have called out to you O Yahweh on every day I have spread out to you hands my.
10 Will you work wonders for the dead? or shall physicians raise [them] up, that they shall praise you?
¿ For the dead will you do wonder[s] or? [the] shades will they arise - will they give thanks to? you (Selah)
11 Shall any one declare your mercy in the tomb? and your truth in destruction?
¿ Will it be recounted in the grave covenant loyalty your faithfulness your in Abaddon.
12 Shall your wonders be known in darkness? and your righteousness in a forgotten land?
¿ Will it be known in the darkness wonder[s] your and righteousness your in [the] land of forgetting.
13 But I cried to you, O Lord; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent you.
And I - to you O Yahweh I cry for help and in the morning prayer my it comes to meet you.
14 Therefore, O Lord, do you reject my prayer, [and] turn your face away from me?
Why? O Yahweh do you reject self my do you hide? face your from me.
15 I am poor and in troubles from my youth; and having been exalted, I was brought low and into despair.
[have been] afflicted I and [have been] about to die from youth I have borne terrors your I am perplexed.
16 Your wrath has passed over me; and your terrors have greatly disquieted me.
Over me they have passed anger your terrors your they have destroyed me.
17 They compassed me like water; all the day they beset me together.
They have surrounded me like water all the day they have surrounded me altogether.
18 You have put far from me [every] friend, and mine acquaintances because of [my] wretchedness.
You have removed far away from me [one who] loves and a friend acquaintances my darkness.
