詩篇 88
1 可拉後裔的詩歌，就是以斯拉人希幔的訓誨詩，交與伶長。調用麻哈拉利暗俄。 耶和華－拯救我的上帝啊， 我晝夜在你面前呼籲。
A Song [or] Psalm for the sons of Korah, to the chief Musician upon Mahalath Leannoth, Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite. O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day [and] night before thee:
2 願我的禱告達到你面前； 求你側耳聽我的呼求！
Let my prayer come before thee: incline thy ear to my cry;
For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh to the grave. (Sheol h7585)
4 我算和下坑的人同列， 如同無力的人一樣。
I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man [that hath] no strength:
5 我被丟在死人中， 好像被殺的人躺在墳墓裏。 他們是你不再記念的， 與你隔絕了。
Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.
6 你把我放在極深的坑裏， 在黑暗地方，在深處。
Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.
7 你的忿怒重壓我身； 你用一切的波浪困住我。 (細拉)
Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted [me] with all thy waves. (Selah)
8 你把我所認識的隔在遠處， 使我為他們所憎惡； 我被拘困，不得出來。
Thou hast put away my acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination to them: [I am] shut up, and I cannot come forth.
9 我的眼睛因困苦而乾癟。 耶和華啊，我天天求告你，向你舉手。
My eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands to thee.
10 你豈要行奇事給死人看嗎？ 難道陰魂還能起來稱讚你嗎？ (細拉)
Wilt thou show wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise [and] praise thee? (Selah)
11 豈能在墳墓裏述說你的慈愛嗎？ 豈能在滅亡中述說你的信實嗎？
Shall thy loving-kindness be declared in the grave? [or] thy faithfulness in destruction?
12 你的奇事豈能在幽暗裏被知道嗎？ 你的公義豈能在忘記之地被知道嗎？
Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
13 耶和華啊，我呼求你； 我早晨的禱告要達到你面前。
But to thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer come before thee.
14 耶和華啊，你為何丟棄我？ 為何掩面不顧我？
LORD, why castest thou off my soul? [why] hidest thou thy face from me?
15 我自幼受苦，幾乎死亡； 我受你的驚恐，甚至慌張。
I [am] afflicted and ready to die from [my] youth up: [while] I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.
16 你的烈怒漫過我身； 你的驚嚇把我剪除。
Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.
17 這些終日如水環繞我， 一齊都來圍困我。
They came around me daily like water; they encompassed me together.
18 你把我的良朋密友隔在遠處， 使我所認識的人進入黑暗裏。
Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, [and] my acquaintance into darkness.
