Mazmur 88
1 Nyanyian. Mazmur kaum Korah. Untuk pemimpin kor. Menurut lagu: Mahalat Leanot. Nyanyian pengajaran Heman, orang Ezrahi. Ya TUHAN, Allah yang menyelamatkan aku, di waktu siang aku berseru kepada-Mu, di waktu malam aku menghadap Engkau.
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.
2 Semoga doaku sampai kepada-Mu, dengarkanlah seruanku.
Let my prayer come in before you; incline your ear to my supplication, O Lord.
For my soul is filled with troubles, and my life has drawn near to Hades. (Sheol h7585)
4 Aku seperti orang yang akan turun ke liang kubur, orang yang kehabisan tenaga.
I have been reckoned with them that go down to the pit; I became as a man without help;
5 Aku ditinggalkan di antara orang mati, seperti orang terbunuh, terbaring dalam kuburan, seperti orang yang Kaulupakan sama sekali, orang yang tidak Kautolong lagi.
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.
6 Engkau melemparkan aku ke lubang yang dalam, ke liang kubur yang dalam dan gelap.
They laid me in the lowest pit, in dark [places], and in the shadow of death.
7 Kemarahan-Mu menekan aku dengan berat, aku hancur tertindas oleh murka-Mu.
Your wrath has pressed heavily upon me, and you have brought upon me all your billows. (Pause)
8 Kaujauhkan kenalan-kenalanku daripadaku, dan Kaubuat aku memuakkan bagi mereka. Aku terkurung dan tak dapat keluar,
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.
9 mataku menjadi redup karena sengsara. Setiap hari aku berseru kepada-Mu, TUHAN, dan berdoa dengan tangan terentang.
Mine eyes are dimmed from poverty; but I cried to you, O Lord, all the day; I spread forth my hands to you.
10 Apakah Engkau membuat keajaiban untuk orang mati? Apakah mereka bangkit dan memuji Engkau?
Will you work wonders for the dead? or shall physicians raise [them] up, that they shall praise you?
11 Apakah kasih-Mu diberitakan dalam kuburan, dan kesetiaan-Mu di tempat kebinasaan?
Shall any one declare your mercy in the tomb? and your truth in destruction?
12 Adakah yang mengetahui keajaiban-Mu dalam kegelapan, atau kebaikan-Mu di negeri tempat orang dilupakan?
Shall your wonders be known in darkness? and your righteousness in a forgotten land?
13 Tetapi aku mohon pertolongan-Mu, ya TUHAN, setiap pagi kupanjatkan doa kepada-Mu.
But I cried to you, O Lord; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent you.
14 Ya TUHAN, mengapa Engkau menolak aku? Mengapa Kaupalingkan wajah-Mu daripadaku?
Therefore, O Lord, do you reject my prayer, [and] turn your face away from me?
15 Sejak kecil aku sengsara dan diincar maut, aku kepayahan menanggung hukuman-Mu.
I am poor and in troubles from my youth; and having been exalted, I was brought low and into despair.
16 Kemarahan-Mu yang dahsyat menghancurkan aku; serangan-Mu yang hebat membinasakan aku.
Your wrath has passed over me; and your terrors have greatly disquieted me.
17 Sepanjang hari kemarahan-Mu seperti banjir mengelilingi aku, mengepung aku dari segala penjuru.
They compassed me like water; all the day they beset me together.
18 Kawan-kawanku yang akrab Kaujauhkan daripadaku, tinggal kegelapan menemani aku.
You have put far from me [every] friend, and mine acquaintances because of [my] wretchedness.
