Psalms 88
1 A song or Psalme of Heman the Ezrahite to give instruction, committed to the sonnes of Korah for him that excelleth upon Malath Leannoth. O Lord God of my saluation, I cry day and night before thee.
canticum psalmi filiis Core in finem pro Maeleth ad respondendum intellectus Eman Ezraitae Domine Deus salutis meae die clamavi et nocte coram te
2 Let my prayer enter into thy presence: incline thine eare vnto my cry.
intret in conspectu tuo oratio mea inclina aurem tuam ad precem meam
quia repleta est malis anima mea et vita mea in inferno adpropinquavit (Sheol h7585)
4 I am counted among them that go downe vnto the pit, and am as a man without strength:
aestimatus sum cum descendentibus in lacum factus sum sicut homo sine adiutorio
5 Free among the dead, like the slaine lying in the graue, whome thou remembrest no more, and they are cut off from thine hand.
inter mortuos liber sicut vulnerati dormientes in sepulchris quorum non es memor amplius et ipsi de manu tua repulsi sunt
6 Thou hast layde me in the lowest pit, in darkenes, and in the deepe.
posuerunt me in lacu inferiori in tenebrosis et in umbra mortis
7 Thine indignation lyeth vpon me, and thou hast vexed me with all thy waues. (Selah)
super me confirmatus est furor tuus et omnes fluctus tuos induxisti super me diapsalma
8 Thou hast put away mine acquaintance farre from me, and made mee to be abhorred of them: I am shut vp, and cannot get foorth.
longe fecisti notos meos a me posuerunt me abominationem sibi traditus sum et non egrediebar
9 Mine eye is sorowfull through mine affliction: Lord, I call dayly vpon thee: I stretch out mine hands vnto thee.
oculi mei languerunt prae inopia clamavi ad te Domine tota die expandi ad te manus meas
10 Wilt thou shewe a miracle to the dead? or shall the dead rise and prayse thee? (Selah)
numquid mortuis facies mirabilia aut medici suscitabunt et confitebuntur tibi diapsalma
11 Shall thy louing kindenes be declared in the graue? or thy faithfulnes in destruction?
numquid narrabit aliquis in sepulchro misericordiam tuam et veritatem tuam in perditione
12 Shall thy wonderous workes be knowen in the darke? and thy righteousnes in the land of obliuion?
numquid cognoscentur in tenebris mirabilia tua et iustitia tua in terra oblivionis
13 But vnto thee haue I cryed, O Lord, and early shall my prayer come before thee.
et ego ad te Domine clamavi et mane oratio mea praeveniet te
14 Lord, why doest thou reiect my soule, and hidest thy face from me?
ut quid Domine repellis orationem meam avertis faciem tuam a me
15 I am afflicted and at the point of death: from my youth I suffer thy terrours, doubting of my life.
pauper sum ego et in laboribus a iuventute mea exaltatus autem humiliatus sum et conturbatus
16 Thine indignations goe ouer me, and thy feare hath cut me off.
in me transierunt irae tuae et terrores tui conturbaverunt me
17 They came round about me dayly like water, and compassed me together.
circuierunt me sicut aqua tota die circumdederunt me simul
18 My louers and friends hast thou put away from me, and mine acquaintance hid themselues.
elongasti a me amicum et proximum et notos meos a miseria
