< Psalms 88 >

1 A Song, a Psalm of the sons of Korah; for the Leader; upon Mahalath Leannoth. Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite. O LORD, God of my salvation, what time I cry in the night before Thee,
تَسْبِيحَةٌ: مَزْمُورٌ لِبَنِي قُورَحَ. لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ عَلَى النَّايِ الْحَزِينِ لِلْغِنَاءِ الْخَافِتِ. قَصِيدَةٌ تَعْلِيمِيَّةٌ لِهَيْمَانَ الأَزْرَاحِيِّ يَا رَبُّ يَا إِلَهَ خَلاصِي، أَمَامَكَ أَصْرُخُ نَهَاراً وَلَيْلاً.١
2 Let my prayer come before Thee, incline Thine ear unto my cry.
لِتَأْتِ صَلاتِي أَمَامَكَ، أَمِلْ أُذُنَكَ إِلَى صَرْخَتِي،٢
3 For my soul is sated with troubles, and my life draweth nigh unto the grave. (Sheol h7585)
فَإِنَّ نَفْسِي شَبِعَتْ مَصَائِبَ، وَحَيَاتِي تَقْتَرِبُ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ. (Sheol h7585)٣
4 I am counted with them that go down into the pit; I am become as a man that hath no help;
حُسِبْتُ فِي عِدَادِ الْهَابِطِينَ إِلَى قَعْرِ هُوَّةِ الْمَوْتِ، وَكَرَجُلٍ لَا قُوَّةَ لَهُ.٤
5 Set apart among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom Thou rememberest no more; and they are cut off from Thy hand.
تَرَكُونِي أَمُوتُ كَقَتْلَى الْحَرْبِ الْمُمَدَّدِينَ فِي الْقَبْرِ، الَّذِينَ لَا تَعُودُ تَذْكُرُهُمْ وَتَكُفُّ يَدَكَ عَنْ إِغَاثَتِهِمْ.٥
6 Thou hast laid me in the nethermost pit, in dark places, in the deeps.
قَدْ طَرَحْتَنِي فِي الْهُوَّةِ السُّفْلَى، فِي الأَمَاكِنِ الْمُظْلِمَةِ وَالْعَمِيقَةِ.٦
7 Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and all Thy waves Thou pressest down. (Selah)
اسْتَقَرَّ علَيَّ غَضَبُكَ، وَبِأَمْوَاجِكَ الطَّامِيَةِ ذَلَّلْتَنِي.٧
8 Thou hast put mine acquaintance far from me; Thou hast made me an abomination unto them; I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.
أَبْعَدْتَ عَنِّي أَصْحَابِي، وَجَعَلْتَنِي عَاراً عِنْدَهُمْ. قَدْ حُبِسْتُ فَلَا نَجَاةَ لِي.٨
9 Mine eye languisheth by reason of affliction; I have called upon Thee, O LORD, every day, I have spread forth my hands unto Thee.
كَلَّتْ عَيْنَايَ مِنْ فَرْطِ البُكَاءِ. إِيَّاكَ يَا رَبُّ دَعَوْتُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ بَاسِطاً إِلَيْكَ يَدَيَّ.٩
10 Wilt Thou work wonders for the dead? Or shall the shades arise and give Thee thanks? (Selah)
هَلْ تَصْنَعُ عَجَائِبَ لِلأَمْوَاتِ، أَمْ تَقُومُ أَشْبَاحُ الْمَوْتَى فَتُمَجِّدَكَ؟١٠
11 Shall Thy mercy be declared in the grave? or Thy faithfulness in destruction?
أَفِي الْقَبْرِ تُعْلَنُ رَحْمَتُكَ، وَفِي الْهَاوِيَةِ أَمَانَتُكَ؟١١
12 Shall Thy wonders be known in the dark? and Thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
هَلْ فِي الظَّلامِ تُعْرَفُ عَجَائِبُكَ، وَفِي أَرْضِ النِّسْيَانِ يَظْهَرُ بِرُّكَ؟١٢
13 But as for me, unto Thee, O LORD, do I cry, and in the morning doth my prayer come to meet Thee.
أَمَّا أَنَا فَإِلَيْكَ أَصْرُخُ مُسْتَغِيثاً يَا رَبُّ، وَفِي الصَّبَاحِ تَمْثُلُ صَلاتِي أَمَامَكَ.١٣
14 LORD, why castest Thou off my soul? Why hidest Thou Thy face from me?
لِمَاذَا يَا رَبُّ تَرْفُضُ نَفْسِي، وَتَحْجُبُ عَنِّي وَجْهَكَ؟١٤
15 I am afflicted and at the point of death from my youth up; I have borne Thy terrors, I am distracted.
إِنَّنِي مِسْكِينٌ، وَمُشْرِفٌ عَلَى الْمَوْتِ مُنْذُ صِبَايَ، وَقَدْ قَاسَيْتُ أَهْوَالَكَ، وَذُهِلْتُ.١٥
16 Thy fierce wrath is gone over me; Thy terrors have cut me off.
اجْتَاحَنِي غَضَبُكَ الشَّدِيدُ وَأَفْنَتْنِي أَهْوَالُكَ.١٦
17 They came round about me like water all the day; they compassed me about together.
أَحَاطَتْ بِي طُولَ النَّهَارِ كَالْمِيَاهِ وَأَطْبَقَتْ عَلَيَّ كُلُّهَا.١٧
18 Friend and companion hast Thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.
فَرَّقْتَ عَنِّي الأَصْدِقَاءَ فَصَارَ الظَّلامُ مُلازِماً لِي.١٨
