Psalms 88
1 A Song, a Psalm for the sons of Korah. To the chief Musician. Upon Mahalath Leannoth. An instruction. Of Heman the Ezrahite. Jehovah, God of my salvation, I have cried by day [and] in the night before thee.
E IEHOVA, ke Akua o ko'u ola, Ua kahea aku no au imua ou i ke ao a me ka po.
2 Let my prayer come before thee; incline thine ear unto my cry.
E hookomo aku i ka'u pule imua ou; E haliu mai hoi kou pepeiao i ka'u kahea ana.
No ka mea, ua ana ko'u uhane i na popilikia; Ke hookokoke nei ko'u ola i ka luapo. (Sheol h7585)
4 I am reckoned with them that go down into the pit; I am as a man that hath no strength:
Ua helu pu ia no wau me ka poe iho ilalo i ka lua; Ua like hoi au me ke kanaka, aohe ona ikaika:
5 Prostrate among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave; whom thou rememberest no more, and who are cut off from thy hand.
Ua waiho wale ia iwaena o ka poe make, Ua like hoi me ka poe i houia e moe ana ma ka lua, Aole oe e hoomanao hou ia lakou; Ua hookiia lakou, mai kou lima aku.
6 Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in dark places, in the deeps.
Ua hoomoe oe ia'u iloko o ka lua hohonu loa, Maloko o ka pouli, a me ua hohonu.
7 Thy fury lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted [me] with all thy waves. (Selah)
Ua kaumaha mai kou huhu maluna o'u, Ua hoopilikia mai oe ia'u i kou mau ale a pau. (Sila)
8 Thou hast put my familiar friends far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.
Ua hookaawale loa aku oe i ko'u makamaka mai o'u aku, Ua hoolilo mai oe ia'u i mea hoopailua no lakou: Ua paa no hoi au, aole e hiki ia'u ke hele aku.
9 Mine eye consumeth by reason of affliction. Upon thee, Jehovah, have I called every day; I have stretched out my hands unto thee.
Ua hokii ko'u mau maka no ka popilikia; Ua kahea aku no wau ia oe, e Iehova, i na la a pau, Ua kikoo aku no hoi au i ko'u lima ia oe.
10 Wilt thou do wonders to the dead? shall the shades arise and praise thee? (Selah)
E hoike anei oe i na hana mana no ka poe i make? E ala mai anei na lapu e hoolea aku ia oe? (Sila)
11 Shall thy loving-kindness be declared in the grave? thy faithfulness in Destruction?
E haiia anei kou lokomaikai ma ka luakupapau? A me kou oiaio hoi maloko o ka po?
12 Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
E ikea anei kau hana mana maloko o ka pouli? A me kou pono hoi maloko o ka aina meki?
13 But as for me, Jehovah, I cry unto thee, and in the morning my prayer cometh before thee.
E kahea aku nae au ia oe, e Iehova; I ke kakahiaka hoi e halawai no ka'u pule me oe.
14 Why, O Jehovah, castest thou off my soul? [why] hidest thou thy face from me?
E Iehova, no ke aha la oe e hoopailua mai i ko'u uhane? A huna hoi i kou maka ia'u?
15 I am afflicted and expiring from my youth up; I suffer thy terrors, [and] I am distracted.
Ua pilikia au, a kokoke no i ka make, mai ko'u wa uuku mai; Ia'u i loohia'i i kou mea makau, ua kupikipikio au.
16 Thy fierce anger hath gone over me; thy terrors have brought me to nought:
Ua hele ae maluna o'u kou huhu wela; Ua hooki loa hoi kou mau mea makau ia'u.
17 They have surrounded me all the day like water; they have compassed me about together.
Hele poai mai la lakou ia'u, me he wai la; Hoopuni mai la lakou ia'u.
18 Lover and associate hast thou put far from me: my familiar friends are darkness.
Ua hookaawale loa oe i ko'u mea aloha, a me ko'u makamaka, mai o'u aku, Aia hoi ko'u hoalauna ma ka pouli.
