Psalms 88
1 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:
Korah ih caanawk hanah saam laa. Katoeng kruek zaehoikung, Mahalath ah sak koi Heman Ezrahite ih Maskil. Ka pahlonghaih Angraeng Sithaw, nang khaeah aqum athun kang hangh.
2 Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;
Lawk ka thuihaih nang khaeah pha nasoe; ka hanghaih lok na tahngai pae ah.
Ka hinghaih mah raihaih tong boeh moe, ka hinghaih taprong taengah phak boeh. (Sheol h7585)
4 I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man [that hath] no strength:
Kai loe tangqom thungah caeh kaminawk hoi nawnto ang kroek o hmaek boeh; tha tawn ai kami baktiah ni ka oh sut boeh.
5 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.
Kadueh kaminawk salakah vah sut ih kami, kami hum moe, taprong ah pasong o ih baktiah, na ban thung hoiah na takhoe ving moe, anih to na panoek ai boeh.
6 Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.
Kathuk koek tangqom, kaving moe, kathuk parai tangqom thungah nang pasong.
7 Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted [me] with all thy waves. (Selah)
Palung na phuihaih mah kai ang taeh; kai hae na tuiphunawk boih hoiah nang pacaekthlaek. (Selah)
8 Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: [I am] shut up, and I cannot come forth.
Kam puinawk to nang lak pae ving; kai hae nihcae mah panuet hanah nang sak; kai nang paung caeng pongah, tasa bangah ka tacawt thai ai boeh.
9 Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.
Raihaih mah ka mik amrosak boeh; Angraeng, ni thokkruek nang kang kawk; nang khaeah ka ban kang payangh.
10 Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise [and] praise thee? (Selah)
Kadueh kaminawk hanah dawnrai hmuen na sak pae han maw? Kadueh kaminawk angthawk o ueloe, nang to saphaw o tih maw? (Selah)
11 Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? [or] thy faithfulness in destruction?
Nam lunghaih to taprong thungah thui o tih maw, to tih ai boeh loe na oepthohhaih to amrohaih thungah thui o tih maw?
12 Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
Na sak ih dawnrai hmuennawk to khoving thungah panoek o tih maw? Na toenghaih doeh pahnet thaih prae ah panoek o tih maw?
13 But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.
Toe Aw Angraeng, kai loe nang khaeah ka qah; akhawn bangah lawkthuihaih loe na hmaa ah phak boeh.
14 LORD, why castest thou off my soul? [why] hidest thou thy face from me?
Angraeng, tipongah ka pakhra nang vah pae ving loe? Tipongah mikhmai nang hawk taak ving loe?
15 I [am] afflicted and ready to die from [my] youth up: [while] I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.
Kai loe nawkta nathuem hoi patang ka khang boeh moe, ka duek duih boeh; raihaih nang tongsak pongah kang pho sut boeh.
16 Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.
Palung na phuihaih mah kai ang kraeng khoep boeh; nang tongsak ih raihaih mah ang paro boeh.
17 They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.
To hmuennawk loe tuibaktiah ka taengah ni thokkruek angzoh o; kai hae nawnto ang takui o.
18 Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, [and] mine acquaintance into darkness.
Palung ih kami hoi ampuinawk to kai khae hoi kangthla ah nang suek pae, kam puinawk loe vinghaih thungah oh o.
