Psalms 88

1 song melody to/for son: descendant/people Korah to/for to conduct upon Mahalath to/for to sing Maskil to/for Heman [the] Ezrahite LORD God salvation my day to cry in/on/with night before you

A Song. A Psalm. Of the sons of Korah. To the chief music-maker; put to Mahalath Leannoth. Maschil. Of Heman the Ezrahite. O Lord, God of my salvation, I have been crying to you for help by day and by night:

2 to come (in): come to/for face: before your prayer my to stretch ear your to/for cry my

Let my prayer come before you; give ear to my cry:

3 for to satisfy in/on/with distress: harm soul my and life my to/for hell: Sheol to touch (Sheol h7585)

For my soul is full of evils, and my life has come near to the underworld. (Sheol h7585)

4 to devise: count with to go down pit to be like/as great man nothing strength

I am numbered among those who go down into the earth; I have become like a man for whom there is no help:

5 in/on/with to die free like slain: killed to lie down: be dead grave which not to remember them still and they(masc.) from hand your to cut

My soul is among the dead, like those in the underworld, to whom you give no more thought; for they are cut off from your care.

6 to set: put me in/on/with pit lower in/on/with darkness in/on/with depth

You have put me in the lowest deep, even in dark places.

7 upon me to support rage your and all wave your to afflict (Selah)

The weight of your wrath is crushing me, all your waves have overcome me. (Selah)

8 to remove to know my from me to set: make me abomination to/for them to restrain and not to come out: come

You have sent my friends far away from me; you have made me a disgusting thing in their eyes: I am shut up, and not able to come out.

9 eye my to languish from affliction to call: call to you LORD in/on/with all day to spread to(wards) you palm my

My eyes are wasting away because of my trouble: Lord, my cry has gone up to you every day, my hands are stretched out to you.

10 to/for to die to make: do wonder if: surely no shade to arise: rise to give thanks you (Selah)

Will you do works of wonder for the dead? will the shades come back to give you praise? (Selah)

11 to recount in/on/with grave kindness your faithfulness your in/on/with Abaddon

Will the story of your mercy be given in the house of the dead? will news of your faith come to the place of destruction?

12 to know in/on/with darkness wonder your and righteousness your in/on/with land: country/planet forgetfulness

May there be knowledge of your wonders in the dark? or of your righteousness where memory is dead?

13 and I to(wards) you LORD to cry and in/on/with morning prayer my to meet you

But to you did I send up my cry, O Lord; in the morning my prayer came before you.

14 to/for what? LORD to reject soul my to hide face your from me

Lord, why have you sent away my soul? why is your face covered from me?

15 afflicted I and to die from youth to lift: bear terror your to distract

I have been troubled and in fear of death from the time when I was young; your wrath is hard on me, and I have no strength.

16 upon me to pass burning anger your terror your to destroy me

The heat of your wrath has gone over me; I am broken by your cruel punishments.

17 to turn: surround me like/as water all [the] day to surround upon me unitedness

They are round me all the day like water; they have made a circle about me.

18 to remove from me to love: lover and neighbor to know my darkness

You have sent my friends and lovers far from me; I am gone from the memory of those who are dear to me.
