Psalms 88

1 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 May it come before you prayer my incline ear your to cry of entreaty my.

3 For it is surfeited with troubles being my and life my to Sheol they have reached. (Sheol h7585)

4 I am reckoned with [those who] go down of [the] pit I am like a man [whom] there not [is] strength.

5 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 You have put me in a pit of lowest parts in [the] dark places in [the] depths.

7 On me it has lain anger your and all breakers your you have afflicted [me] (Selah)

8 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 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 ¿ For the dead will you do wonder[s] or? [the] shades will they arise - will they give thanks to? you (Selah)

11 ¿ Will it be recounted in the grave covenant loyalty your faithfulness your in Abaddon.

12 ¿ Will it be known in the darkness wonder[s] your and righteousness your in [the] land of forgetting.

13 And I - to you O Yahweh I cry for help and in the morning prayer my it comes to meet you.

14 Why? O Yahweh do you reject self my do you hide? face your from me.

15 [have been] afflicted I and [have been] about to die from youth I have borne terrors your I am perplexed.

16 Over me they have passed anger your terrors your they have destroyed me.

17 They have surrounded me like water all the day they have surrounded me altogether.

18 You have removed far away from me [one who] loves and a friend acquaintances my darkness.
