المَزامِير 88

١ 1 تَسْبِيحَةٌ: مَزْمُورٌ لِبَنِي قُورَحَ. لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ عَلَى النَّايِ الْحَزِينِ لِلْغِنَاءِ الْخَافِتِ. قَصِيدَةٌ تَعْلِيمِيَّةٌ لِهَيْمَانَ الأَزْرَاحِيِّ يَا رَبُّ يَا إِلَهَ خَلاصِي، أَمَامَكَ أَصْرُخُ نَهَاراً وَلَيْلاً.

A song, a psalm of the sons of Korah; for the chief musician; set to the Mahalath Leannoth style. A maschil of Heman the Ezrahite. Yahweh, God of my salvation, I cry out day and night before you.

٢ 2 لِتَأْتِ صَلاتِي أَمَامَكَ، أَمِلْ أُذُنَكَ إِلَى صَرْخَتِي،

Listen to my prayer; pay attention to my cry.

٣ 3 فَإِنَّ نَفْسِي شَبِعَتْ مَصَائِبَ، وَحَيَاتِي تَقْتَرِبُ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ. (Sheol h7585)

For I am filled with troubles, and my life has reached Sheol. (Sheol h7585)

٤ 4 حُسِبْتُ فِي عِدَادِ الْهَابِطِينَ إِلَى قَعْرِ هُوَّةِ الْمَوْتِ، وَكَرَجُلٍ لَا قُوَّةَ لَهُ.

People treat me like those who go down into the pit; I am a man with no strength.

٥ 5 تَرَكُونِي أَمُوتُ كَقَتْلَى الْحَرْبِ الْمُمَدَّدِينَ فِي الْقَبْرِ، الَّذِينَ لَا تَعُودُ تَذْكُرُهُمْ وَتَكُفُّ يَدَكَ عَنْ إِغَاثَتِهِمْ.

I am abandoned among the dead; I am like the dead who lie in the grave, about whom you care no more because they are cut off from your power.

٦ 6 قَدْ طَرَحْتَنِي فِي الْهُوَّةِ السُّفْلَى، فِي الأَمَاكِنِ الْمُظْلِمَةِ وَالْعَمِيقَةِ.

You place me in the lowest part of the pit, in the dark and deep places.

٧ 7 اسْتَقَرَّ علَيَّ غَضَبُكَ، وَبِأَمْوَاجِكَ الطَّامِيَةِ ذَلَّلْتَنِي.

Your wrath lies heavy on me, and all your waves crash over me. (Selah)

٨ 8 أَبْعَدْتَ عَنِّي أَصْحَابِي، وَجَعَلْتَنِي عَاراً عِنْدَهُمْ. قَدْ حُبِسْتُ فَلَا نَجَاةَ لِي.

Because of you, my acquaintances avoid me. You have made me a shocking sight to them. I am hemmed in and I cannot escape.

٩ 9 كَلَّتْ عَيْنَايَ مِنْ فَرْطِ البُكَاءِ. إِيَّاكَ يَا رَبُّ دَعَوْتُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ بَاسِطاً إِلَيْكَ يَدَيَّ.

My eyes grow weary from trouble; All day long I call out to you, Yahweh; I spread out my hands to you.

١٠ 10 هَلْ تَصْنَعُ عَجَائِبَ لِلأَمْوَاتِ، أَمْ تَقُومُ أَشْبَاحُ الْمَوْتَى فَتُمَجِّدَكَ؟

Will you do wonders for the dead? Will those who have died rise and praise you? (Selah)

١١ 11 أَفِي الْقَبْرِ تُعْلَنُ رَحْمَتُكَ، وَفِي الْهَاوِيَةِ أَمَانَتُكَ؟

Will your covenant faithfulness be proclaimed in the grave, your loyalty in the place of the dead?

١٢ 12 هَلْ فِي الظَّلامِ تُعْرَفُ عَجَائِبُكَ، وَفِي أَرْضِ النِّسْيَانِ يَظْهَرُ بِرُّكَ؟

Will your wonderful deeds be known in the darkness, or your righteousness in the place of forgetfulness?

١٣ 13 أَمَّا أَنَا فَإِلَيْكَ أَصْرُخُ مُسْتَغِيثاً يَا رَبُّ، وَفِي الصَّبَاحِ تَمْثُلُ صَلاتِي أَمَامَكَ.

But I cry to you, Yahweh; in the morning my prayer comes before you.

١٤ 14 لِمَاذَا يَا رَبُّ تَرْفُضُ نَفْسِي، وَتَحْجُبُ عَنِّي وَجْهَكَ؟

Yahweh, why do you reject me? Why do you hide your face from me?

١٥ 15 إِنَّنِي مِسْكِينٌ، وَمُشْرِفٌ عَلَى الْمَوْتِ مُنْذُ صِبَايَ، وَقَدْ قَاسَيْتُ أَهْوَالَكَ، وَذُهِلْتُ.

I have always been afflicted and on the verge of death since my youth. I have suffered from your terrors; I am in despair.

١٦ 16 اجْتَاحَنِي غَضَبُكَ الشَّدِيدُ وَأَفْنَتْنِي أَهْوَالُكَ.

Your angry actions have passed over me, and your terrifying deeds have annihilated me.

١٧ 17 أَحَاطَتْ بِي طُولَ النَّهَارِ كَالْمِيَاهِ وَأَطْبَقَتْ عَلَيَّ كُلُّهَا.

They surround me like water all the day long; they have all encircled me.

١٨ 18 فَرَّقْتَ عَنِّي الأَصْدِقَاءَ فَصَارَ الظَّلامُ مُلازِماً لِي.

You have removed every friend and acquaintance from me. My only acquaintance is the darkness.
