Psalms 88
1 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 thee.
Ezrakhi hoel Heman kah hlohlai aka doo Mahalath aka mawt ham Korah koca rhoek kah Tingtoeng laa Kai kah khangnah Pathen BOEIPA, namah hmaiah khoyin khothaih ka pang.
2 Let my prayer come in before thee; incline thine ear to my supplication, O Lord.
Ka thangthuinah loh namah mikhmuh la ha pawk saeh. Ka tamlung he na hna kaeng thil lah.
Ka hinglu he yoethae loh hah coeng tih ka hingnah he Saelkhui a paan coeng. (Sheol h7585)
4 I have been reckoned with them that go down to the pit; I became as a man without help;
Tangrhom la aka suntla rhoek neh n'moeh tih a dawn aka sai mueh hlang bangla ka om.
5 free among the dead, as the slain ones cast out, who sleep in the tomb; whom thou rememberest no more; and they are rejected from thy hand.
Aka duek rhoek taengah a rhoe tih phuel kah aka yalh rhok te na ngaidam voel kolla na kut dong lamkah na tuiphih banghui lamni ka om coeng.
6 They laid me in the lowest pit, in dark [places], and in the shadow of death.
Kai he a laedil kah tangrhom ah, khohmuep ah, a cok ah nan khueh.
7 Thy wrath has pressed heavily upon me, and thou hast brought upon me all thy billows. (Pause)
Na kosi te kai soah na tloeng tih na tuiphu tom neh nan phaep.
8 Thou hast removed my acquaintance far from me; they have made me an abomination to themselves; I have been delivered up, and have not gone forth.
Kamah kah hmaiben nawn khaw kai taeng lamkah nan lakhla sak. Amih kah tueilaehkoi la kai nan khueh dongah n'nan uh tih ka coe thai pawh. (Selah)
9 Mine eyes are dimmed from poverty; but I cried to thee, O Lord, all the day; I spread forth my hands to thee.
Phacipphabaem khui lamkah nang kang khue ham khaw ka mik kha coeng. BOEIPA namah taengah hnin takuem ka kut ka phuel.
10 Wilt thou work wonders for the dead? or shall physicians raise [them] up, that they shall praise thee?
Aka duek rhoek ham khobaerhambae na saii pah atah sairhai a aka thoo vetih namah n'uem eh? (Selah)
11 Shall any one declare thy mercy in the tomb? and thy truth in destruction?
Nang kah sitlohnah te phuel khuiah, na uepomnah te Abaddon ah a thui aya?
12 Shall thy wonders be known in darkness? and thy righteousness in a forgotten land?
Nang kah khobaerhambae te khohmuep khuiah, namah kah duengnah te lunghnilh kho ah a ming uh aya?
13 But I cried to thee, O Lord; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.
Tedae kai loh BOEIPA nang taengah ka pang tih mincang kah ka thangthuinah loh namah n'doe.
14 Wherefore, O Lord, dost thou reject my prayer, [and] turn thy face away from me?
BOEIPA aw ba dongah nim ka hinglu he na hlahpham tih kai taeng lamkah na maelhmai na thuh mai?
15 I am poor and in troubles from my youth; and having been exalted, I was brought low and into despair.
Kai mangdaeng he ka camoe lamkah ka pal coeng. Nang taengkah mueirhih ka phueih tih ka ngaidaeng.
16 Thy wrath has passed over me; and thy terrors have greatly disquieted me.
Na thinsa loh kai soah n'khuk tih namah kah hihhamnah loh kai m'biit uh coeng.
17 They compassed me like water; all the day they beset me together.
Tui bangla kai n'hil uh tih, khohnin yung ah kai malh m'vael.
18 Thou hast put far from me [every] friend, and mine acquaintances because of [my] wretchedness.
Ka lungnah ka paya khaw kai taeng lamkah nan lakhla sak tih khohmuep ni ka hmaiben coeng.
