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.
| שִׁיר מִזְמוֹר לִבְנֵי ־ קֹרַח לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַל־מָחֲלַת לְעַנּוֹת מַשְׂכִּיל לְהֵימָן הָאֶזְרָחִֽי׃ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵי יְשׁוּעָתִי יוֹם־צָעַקְתִּי בַלַּיְלָה נֶגְדֶּֽךָ׃ |
2 May it come before you prayer my incline ear your to cry of entreaty my.
| תָּבוֹא לְפָנֶיךָ תְּפִלָּתִי הַטֵּה אׇזְנְךָ לְרִנָּתִֽי׃ |
| כִּֽי־שָׂבְעָה בְרָעוֹת נַפְשִׁי וְחַיַּי לִשְׁאוֹל הִגִּֽיעוּ׃ (Sheol h7585) |
4 I am reckoned with [those who] go down of [the] pit I am like a man [whom] there not [is] strength.
| נֶחְשַׁבְתִּי עִם־יוֹרְדֵי בוֹר הָיִיתִי כְּגֶבֶר אֵֽין־אֱיָֽל׃ |
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.
| בַּמֵּתִים חׇפְשִׁי כְּמוֹ חֲלָלִים ׀ שֹׁכְבֵי קֶבֶר אֲשֶׁר לֹא זְכַרְתָּם עוֹד וְהֵמָּה מִיָּדְךָ נִגְזָֽרוּ׃ |
6 You have put me in a pit of lowest parts in [the] dark places in [the] depths.
| שַׁתַּנִי בְּבוֹר תַּחְתִּיּוֹת בְּמַחֲשַׁכִּים בִּמְצֹלֽוֹת׃ |
7 On me it has lain anger your and all breakers your you have afflicted [me] (Selah)
| עָלַי סָמְכָה חֲמָתֶךָ וְכׇל־מִשְׁבָּרֶיךָ עִנִּיתָ סֶּֽלָה׃ |
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.
| הִרְחַקְתָּ מְיֻדָּעַי מִמֶּנִּי שַׁתַּנִי תוֹעֵבוֹת לָמוֹ כָּלֻא וְלֹא אֵצֵֽא׃ |
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.
| עֵינִי דָאֲבָה מִנִּי ־ עֹנִי קְרָאתִיךָ יְהֹוָה בְּכׇל־יוֹם שִׁטַּחְתִּי אֵלֶיךָ כַפָּֽי׃ |
10 ¿ For the dead will you do wonder[s] or? [the] shades will they arise - will they give thanks to? you (Selah)
| הֲלַמֵּתִים תַּעֲשֶׂה־פֶּלֶא אִם־רְפָאִים יָקוּמוּ ׀ יוֹדוּךָ סֶּֽלָה׃ |
11 ¿ Will it be recounted in the grave covenant loyalty your faithfulness your in Abaddon.
| הַיְסֻפַּר בַּקֶּבֶר חַסְדֶּךָ אֱמוּנָתְךָ בָּאֲבַדּֽוֹן׃ |
12 ¿ Will it be known in the darkness wonder[s] your and righteousness your in [the] land of forgetting.
| הֲיִוָּדַע בַּחֹשֶׁךְ פִּלְאֶךָ וְצִדְקָתְךָ בְּאֶרֶץ נְשִׁיָּֽה׃ |
13 And I - to you O Yahweh I cry for help and in the morning prayer my it comes to meet you.
| וַאֲנִי ׀ אֵלֶיךָ יְהֹוָה שִׁוַּעְתִּי וּבַבֹּקֶר תְּֽפִלָּתִי תְקַדְּמֶֽךָּ׃ |
14 Why? O Yahweh do you reject self my do you hide? face your from me.
| לָמָה יְהֹוָה תִּזְנַח נַפְשִׁי תַּסְתִּיר פָּנֶיךָ מִמֶּֽנִּי׃ |
15 [have been] afflicted I and [have been] about to die from youth I have borne terrors your I am perplexed.
| עָנִי אֲנִי וְגֹוֵעַ מִנֹּעַר נָשָׂאתִי אֵמֶיךָ אָפֽוּנָה׃ |
16 Over me they have passed anger your terrors your they have destroyed me.
| עָלַי עָבְרוּ חֲרוֹנֶיךָ בִּעוּתֶיךָ צִמְּתוּתֻֽנִי׃ |
17 They have surrounded me like water all the day they have surrounded me altogether.
| סַבּוּנִי כַמַּיִם כׇּל־הַיּוֹם הִקִּיפוּ עָלַי יָֽחַד׃ |
18 You have removed far away from me [one who] loves and a friend acquaintances my darkness.
| הִרְחַקְתָּ מִמֶּנִּי אֹהֵב וָרֵעַ מְֽיֻדָּעַי מַחְשָֽׁךְ׃ |
