اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 88

١ 1 تَسْبِيحَةٌ. مَزْمُورٌ لِبَنِي قُورَحَ. لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ عَلَى «ٱلْعُودِ» لِلْغِنَاءِ. قَصِيدَةٌ لِهَيْمَانَ ٱلْأَزْرَاحِيِّ يَارَبُّ إِلَهَ خَلَاصِي، بِٱلنَّهَارِ وَٱللَّيْلِ صَرَخْتُ أَمَامَكَ،

“A song or psalm of the sons of Korach, to the chief musician upon Machalath-le'annoth, a Maskil of Heman the Ezrachite.” O Lord the God of my salvation, by day do I cry, [and] at night I am before thee.

٢ 2 فَلْتَأْتِ قُدَّامَكَ صَلَاتِي. أَمِلْ أُذُنَكَ إِلَى صُرَاخِي،

Let my prayer come unto thy presence; incline thy ear unto my entreaty.

٣ 3 لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ شَبِعَتْ مِنَ ٱلْمَصَائِبِ نَفْسِي، وَحَيَاتِي إِلَى ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ دَنَتْ. (Sheol h7585)

For my soul is sated with troubles; and my life draweth nigh unto the nether world. (Sheol h7585)

٤ 4 حُسِبْتُ مِثْلَ ٱلْمُنْحَدِرِينَ إِلَى ٱلْجُبِّ. صِرْتُ كَرَجُلٍ لَا قُوَّةَ لَهُ.

I am counted with those that descend into the pit; I am become as a man without vigor:

٥ 5 بَيْنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ فِرَاشِي مِثْلُ ٱلْقَتْلَى ٱلْمُضْطَجِعِينَ فِي ٱلْقَبْرِ، ٱلَّذِينَ لَا تَذْكُرُهُمْ بَعْدُ، وَهُمْ مِنْ يَدِكَ ٱنْقَطَعُوا.

Free among the dead, like the slain that dwell in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more; and those that are cut off by thy hand.

٦ 6 وَضَعْتَنِي فِي ٱلْجُبِّ ٱلْأَسْفَلِ، فِي ظُلُمَاتٍ، فِي أَعْمَاقٍ.

Thou hast laid me in the pit of the lower world, in darkness, in the depths.

٧ 7 عَلَيَّ ٱسْتَقَرَّ غَضَبُكَ، وَبِكُلِّ تَيَّارَاتِكَ ذَلَّلْتَنِي. سِلَاهْ.

Upon me lieth heavily thy fury, and with all thy billows hast thou afflicted me. (Selah)

٨ 8 أَبْعَدْتَ عَنِّي مَعَارِفِي. جَعَلْتَنِي رِجْسًا لَهُمْ. أُغْلِقَ عَلَيَّ فَمَا أَخْرُجُ.

Thou hast removed my acquaintances far from me; thou hast rendered me an abomination unto them: I am imprisoned, and I cannot go forth.

٩ 9 عَيْنِي ذَابَتْ مِنَ ٱلذُّلِّ. دَعَوْتُكَ يَارَبُّ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ. بَسَطْتُ إِلَيْكَ يَدَيَّ.

My eye languisheth by reason of affliction: I call on thee, O Lord, every day, I stretch out unto thee my hands.

١٠ 10 أَفَلَعَلَّكَ لِلْأَمْوَاتِ تَصْنَعُ عَجَائِبَ؟ أَمِ ٱلْأَخِيلَةُ تَقُومُ تُمَجِّدُكَ؟ سِلَاهْ.

Wilt thou display wonders to the dead? shall the departed arise [and] thank thee? (Selah)

١١ 11 هَلْ يُحَدَّثُ فِي ٱلْقَبْرِ بِرَحْمَتِكَ، أَوْ بِحَقِّكَ فِي ٱلْهَلَاكِ؟

Shall thy kindness be related in the grave? thy faithfulness in the place of corruption?

١٢ 12 هَلْ تُعْرَفُ فِي ٱلظُّلْمَةِ عَجَائِبُكَ، وَبِرُّكَ فِي أَرْضِ ٱلنِّسْيَانِ؟

Shall thy wonders be acknowledged in the darkness? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

١٣ 13 أَمَّا أَنَا فَإِلَيْكَ يَارَبُّ صَرَخْتُ، وَفِي ٱلْغَدَاةِ صَلَاتِي تَتَقَدَّمُكَ.

Yet I cry indeed aloud unto thee, O Lord; and in the morning shall my prayer come before thee.

١٤ 14 لِمَاذَا يَارَبُّ تَرْفُضُ نَفْسِي؟ لِمَاذَا تَحْجُبُ وَجْهَكَ عَنِّي؟

Why, O Lord, wilt thou cast off my soul? [why] wilt thou hide thy face from me?

١٥ 15 أَنَا مِسْكِينٌ وَمُسَلِّمُ ٱلرُّوحِ مُنْذُ صِبَايَ. ٱحْتَمَلْتُ أَهْوَالَكَ. تَحَيَّرْتُ.

I am afflicted and perishing from my youth up: I bear thy terrors, I am distracted.

١٦ 16 عَلَيَّ عَبَرَ سَخَطُكَ. أَهْوَالُكَ أَهْلَكَتْنِي.

Over me have the fires of thy wrath passed; thy terrors have destroyed me;

١٧ 17 أَحَاطَتْ بِي كَٱلْمِيَاهِ ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ. ٱكْتَنَفَتْنِي مَعًا.

They encompass me like water all the time; they have closed in round about me together.

١٨ 18 أَبْعَدْتَ عَنِّي مُحِبًّا وَصَاحِبًا. مَعَارِفِي فِي ٱلظُّلْمَةِ.

Thou hast removed far from me lover and friend, my acquaintances [are in] darkness.
