Psalms 88

1 Yahweh God, you who rescues me, all during each day I call out [to you] to help me, and I cry out to you during each night also.

١ تَسْبِيحَةٌ. مَزْمُورٌ لِبَنِي قُورَحَ. لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ عَلَى «ٱلْعُودِ» لِلْغِنَاءِ. قَصِيدَةٌ لِهَيْمَانَ ٱلْأَزْرَاحِيِّ يَارَبُّ إِلَهَ خَلَاصِي، بِٱلنَّهَارِ وَٱللَّيْلِ صَرَخْتُ أَمَامَكَ،

2 Listen [IDM] to my prayer [DOU], while I cry out to you [for help]!

٢ فَلْتَأْتِ قُدَّامَكَ صَلَاتِي. أَمِلْ أُذُنَكَ إِلَى صُرَاخِي،

3 I have experienced many troubles/difficulties, and I am about to die [MTY] and go where dead people are. (Sheol h7585)

٣ لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ شَبِعَتْ مِنَ ٱلْمَصَائِبِ نَفْسِي، وَحَيَاتِي إِلَى ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ دَنَتْ. (Sheol h7585)

4 Because I have no more strength, [other people also] consider that I will soon die.

٤ حُسِبْتُ مِثْلَ ٱلْمُنْحَدِرِينَ إِلَى ٱلْجُبِّ. صِرْتُ كَرَجُلٍ لَا قُوَّةَ لَهُ.

5 I am like a corpse that has been abandoned; I am like dead people who lie in their graves, people who have been completely forgotten, because you do not take care of them any more.

٥ بَيْنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ فِرَاشِي مِثْلُ ٱلْقَتْلَى ٱلْمُضْطَجِعِينَ فِي ٱلْقَبْرِ، ٱلَّذِينَ لَا تَذْكُرُهُمْ بَعْدُ، وَهُمْ مِنْ يَدِكَ ٱنْقَطَعُوا.

6 [It is as though] you have thrown me into a deep, dark pit, into a place where they throw corpses.

٦ وَضَعْتَنِي فِي ٱلْجُبِّ ٱلْأَسْفَلِ، فِي ظُلُمَاتٍ، فِي أَعْمَاقٍ.

7 [It seems like] you are very angry with me, and [it is as though] you have crushed me like [ocean] waves [crash down on people] [MET].

٧ عَلَيَّ ٱسْتَقَرَّ غَضَبُكَ، وَبِكُلِّ تَيَّارَاتِكَ ذَلَّلْتَنِي. سِلَاهْ.

8 You have caused my friends to (avoid/stay away from) me; I have become repulsive to them. [It is as though] I am in a prison and cannot escape.

٨ أَبْعَدْتَ عَنِّي مَعَارِفِي. جَعَلْتَنِي رِجْسًا لَهُمْ. أُغْلِقَ عَلَيَّ فَمَا أَخْرُجُ.

9 My eyes cannot see well because I cry very much. Yahweh, every day I call out to you [to help me]; I lift up my hands to you [while I pray].

٩ عَيْنِي ذَابَتْ مِنَ ٱلذُّلِّ. دَعَوْتُكَ يَارَبُّ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ. بَسَطْتُ إِلَيْكَ يَدَيَّ.

10 You certainly do not [RHQ] perform miracles for dead people! Their spirits do not [RHQ] arise to praise you!

١٠ أَفَلَعَلَّكَ لِلْأَمْوَاتِ تَصْنَعُ عَجَائِبَ؟ أَمِ ٱلْأَخِيلَةُ تَقُومُ تُمَجِّدُكَ؟ سِلَاهْ.

11 Corpses in the grave certainly do not tell about your faithfully loving us [RHQ], and in the place where people are finally destroyed, no one tells about what you faithfully [do for us] [RHQ].

١١ هَلْ يُحَدَّثُ فِي ٱلْقَبْرِ بِرَحْمَتِكَ، أَوْ بِحَقِّكَ فِي ٱلْهَلَاكِ؟

12 No one in the deep dark pit ever sees the miracles that you perform [RHQ], and no one in the place where people have been completely forgotten tells about your being good to us.

١٢ هَلْ تُعْرَفُ فِي ٱلظُّلْمَةِ عَجَائِبُكَ، وَبِرُّكَ فِي أَرْضِ ٱلنِّسْيَانِ؟

13 But [as for me], Yahweh, I cry out to you [to help me]; each morning I pray to you.

١٣ أَمَّا أَنَا فَإِلَيْكَ يَارَبُّ صَرَخْتُ، وَفِي ٱلْغَدَاةِ صَلَاتِي تَتَقَدَّمُكَ.

14 Yahweh, why do you reject me [RHQ]? Why do you turn away from me [RHQ]?

١٤ لِمَاذَا يَارَبُّ تَرْفُضُ نَفْسِي؟ لِمَاذَا تَحْجُبُ وَجْهَكَ عَنِّي؟

15 All the time since I was young, I have suffered and have often almost died; I am (in despair/very discouraged) because of enduring the terrible things that you have done to me.

١٥ أَنَا مِسْكِينٌ وَمُسَلِّمُ ٱلرُّوحِ مُنْذُ صِبَايَ. ٱحْتَمَلْتُ أَهْوَالَكَ. تَحَيَّرْتُ.

16 [I feel that] you have crushed me because of your being angry with me; the terrible things that you are doing to me are almost destroying me.

١٦ عَلَيَّ عَبَرَ سَخَطُكَ. أَهْوَالُكَ أَهْلَكَتْنِي.

17 [I feel as though] they surround me like a flood [SIM]; they are (closing in on/crushing) me from all sides.

١٧ أَحَاطَتْ بِي كَٱلْمِيَاهِ ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ. ٱكْتَنَفَتْنِي مَعًا.

18 You have caused [even] my friends and others whom I love to avoid me, and [it is as though] the only friend that I have is darkness.

١٨ أَبْعَدْتَ عَنِّي مُحِبًّا وَصَاحِبًا. مَعَارِفِي فِي ٱلظُّلْمَةِ.
