Psalms 88
1 Yahweh God, you who rescues me, all during each day I call out [to you] to help me, and I cry out to you during each night also.
Ein Gesang, ein Lied, von den Korachiten, auf den Siegesspender, eine Zugabe, bei Bußübungen, ein Lehrgedicht, von Heman, dem Ezrachiten. Du meines Heiles Gott, o Herr! Ich rufe Tag und Nacht zu Dir.
2 Listen [IDM] to my prayer [DOU], while I cry out to you [for help]!
Es komme mein Gebet vor Dich! Und neige meinem Fleh'n Dein Ohr!
3 I have experienced many troubles/difficulties, and I am about to die [MTY] and go where dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
Denn meine Seele ist von Leiden voll gesättigt; der Unterwelt naht sich mein Leben. (Sheol h7585)
4 Because I have no more strength, [other people also] consider that I will soon die.
Zu denen, die zur Grube fahren, zählt man mich; ich gleiche einem Manne ohne Kraft.
5 I am like a corpse that has been abandoned; I am like dead people who lie in their graves, people who have been completely forgotten, because you do not take care of them any more.
Wie Tote bin ich, bloß von allem, wie die Verblichenen, die im Grabe liegen, und deren Du nicht mehr gedenkst, und die Dir fernestehen.
6 [It is as though] you have thrown me into a deep, dark pit, into a place where they throw corpses.
Du stößt mich in die tiefste Grube, in Finsternis, in große Tiefen.
7 [It seems like] you are very angry with me, and [it is as though] you have crushed me like [ocean] waves [crash down on people] [MET].
Dein Grimm liegt schwer auf mir; und Deine Fluten führst Du her. (Sela)
8 You have caused my friends to (avoid/stay away from) me; I have become repulsive to them. [It is as though] I am in a prison and cannot escape.
Und Du entfremdest mir die Freunde; zum Ekel machst Du mich für sie. Ich liege eingekerkert und darf nimmer ausgehn.
9 My eyes cannot see well because I cry very much. Yahweh, every day I call out to you [to help me]; I lift up my hands to you [while I pray].
Matt ist mein Auge mir vom Leiden. Ich rufe täglich, Herr, Dich an und breite meine Hände nach Dir aus:
10 You certainly do not [RHQ] perform miracles for dead people! Their spirits do not [RHQ] arise to praise you!
"Wirst Du an Taten Wunder tun? Und stehen Schatten auf, Dir Dank zu sagen? (Sela)
11 Corpses in the grave certainly do not tell about your faithfully loving us [RHQ], and in the place where people are finally destroyed, no one tells about what you faithfully [do for us] [RHQ].
Rühmt man im Grabe Deine Liebe und Deine Treue in der Unterwelt?
12 No one in the deep dark pit ever sees the miracles that you perform [RHQ], and no one in the place where people have been completely forgotten tells about your being good to us.
Wird in der Finsternis Dein unvergleichlich Wesen kundgetan und Deine Liebe in dem Lande der Vergessenheit?"
13 But [as for me], Yahweh, I cry out to you [to help me]; each morning I pray to you.
So schreie ich, o Herr, zu Dir; vor Dich dringt in der Frühe mein Gebet.
14 Yahweh, why do you reject me [RHQ]? Why do you turn away from me [RHQ]?
Warum verschmähst Du meine Seele, Herr, verbirgst vor mir Dein Angesicht?
15 All the time since I was young, I have suffered and have often almost died; I am (in despair/very discouraged) because of enduring the terrible things that you have done to me.
So elend bin ich, von der Jugendzeit an sterbend, und wortlos Deine Schrecken tragend.
16 [I feel that] you have crushed me because of your being angry with me; the terrible things that you are doing to me are almost destroying me.
Mich überfallen Deine Zornesgluten, und Deine Schrecknisse vernichten mich,
17 [I feel as though] they surround me like a flood [SIM]; they are (closing in on/crushing) me from all sides.
umfluten täglich mich wie Wasser, umschließen mich zumal.
18 You have caused [even] my friends and others whom I love to avoid me, and [it is as though] the only friend that I have is darkness.
Du nimmst mir meine Freunde und Gefährten weg, und meine Liebsten sind entschwunden.
