< Psalms 88 >

1 A song a psalm of [the] sons of Korah to the choirmaster on Machalath to sing a poem of Heman the Ezrachite. O Yahweh [the] God of salvation my day I have cried out in the night before you.
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.
2 May it come before you prayer my incline ear your to cry of entreaty my.
Let my prayer enter into thy presence: incline thine eare vnto my cry.
3 For it is surfeited with troubles being my and life my to Sheol they have reached. (Sheol h7585)
For my soule is filled with euils, and my life draweth neere to the graue. (Sheol h7585)
4 I am reckoned with [those who] go down of [the] pit I am like a man [whom] there not [is] strength.
I am counted among them that go downe vnto the pit, and am as a man without strength:
5 Among the dead a [person] set free like [those] slain - [who] lie of [the] grave whom not you remember them again and they from hand your they are cut off.
Free among the dead, like the slaine lying in the graue, whome thou remembrest no more, and they are cut off from thine hand.
6 You have put me in a pit of lowest parts in [the] dark places in [the] depths.
Thou hast layde me in the lowest pit, in darkenes, and in the deepe.
7 On me it has lain anger your and all breakers your you have afflicted [me] (Selah)
Thine indignation lyeth vpon me, and thou hast vexed me with all thy waues. (Selah)
8 You have removed far away acquaintances my from me you have made me abominations to them [I am] shut up and not I will go out.
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.
9 Eye my it is faint from affliction I have called out to you O Yahweh on every day I have spread out to you hands my.
Mine eye is sorowfull through mine affliction: Lord, I call dayly vpon thee: I stretch out mine hands vnto thee.
10 ¿ For the dead will you do wonder[s] or? [the] shades will they arise - will they give thanks to? you (Selah)
Wilt thou shewe a miracle to the dead? or shall the dead rise and prayse thee? (Selah)
11 ¿ Will it be recounted in the grave covenant loyalty your faithfulness your in Abaddon.
Shall thy louing kindenes be declared in the graue? or thy faithfulnes in destruction?
12 ¿ Will it be known in the darkness wonder[s] your and righteousness your in [the] land of forgetting.
Shall thy wonderous workes be knowen in the darke? and thy righteousnes in the land of obliuion?
13 And I - to you O Yahweh I cry for help and in the morning prayer my it comes to meet you.
But vnto thee haue I cryed, O Lord, and early shall my prayer come before thee.
14 Why? O Yahweh do you reject self my do you hide? face your from me.
Lord, why doest thou reiect my soule, and hidest thy face from me?
15 [have been] afflicted I and [have been] about to die from youth I have borne terrors your I am perplexed.
I am afflicted and at the point of death: from my youth I suffer thy terrours, doubting of my life.
16 Over me they have passed anger your terrors your they have destroyed me.
Thine indignations goe ouer me, and thy feare hath cut me off.
17 They have surrounded me like water all the day they have surrounded me altogether.
They came round about me dayly like water, and compassed me together.
18 You have removed far away from me [one who] loves and a friend acquaintances my darkness.
My louers and friends hast thou put away from me, and mine acquaintance hid themselues.
