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.

Cántico. Salmo de los hijos de Coré. Al maestro de coro. Sobre el tono de “Mahalat”, para cantar. Maskil. De Hemán el ezrahita. Yahvé, Dios de mi salud, día y noche clamo en tu presencia.

2 Listen [IDM] to my prayer [DOU], while I cry out to you [for help]!

Llegue hasta Ti mi oración, inclina tu oído a mi clamor.

3 I have experienced many troubles/difficulties, and I am about to die [MTY] and go where dead people are. (Sheol h7585)

Pues mi alma está saciada de males, y mi vida al borde del sepulcro. (Sheol h7585)

4 Because I have no more strength, [other people also] consider that I will soon die.

Me cuentan entre los que bajan a la tumba; he venido a ser como un hombre inválido,

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.

abandonado a su propia suerte como los muertos; como las víctimas que yacen en el sepulcro, de quienes ya no te acuerdas, y que no son más objeto de tu cuidado.

6 [It is as though] you have thrown me into a deep, dark pit, into a place where they throw corpses.

Me has puesto en una profunda fosa, en tinieblas, en el abismo.

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].

Sobre mí pesa tu indignación, y con todas tus olas me estás ahogando.

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.

Has alejado de mí a los amigos, me has hecho objeto de abominación para ellos; me encuentro encerrado, sin poder salir.

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].

Mis ojos flaquean de miseria; clamo a Ti, Yahvé, todo el día, hacia Ti extiendo mis manos.

10 You certainly do not [RHQ] perform miracles for dead people! Their spirits do not [RHQ] arise to praise you!

¿Es que para los muertos haces tus maravillas, o se levantan los difuntos para alabarte?

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].

¿Acaso en las sepulturas se proclama tu bondad, en la tierra de los muertos tu fidelidad?

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.

¿Se harán tus prodigios manifiestos en las tinieblas, y tu gracia en la tierra del olvido?

13 But [as for me], Yahweh, I cry out to you [to help me]; each morning I pray to you.

Yo en cambio, Yahvé, te expreso mi clamor, y desde temprano te llega mi ruego.

14 Yahweh, why do you reject me [RHQ]? Why do you turn away from me [RHQ]?

¿Por qué, Yahvé, rechazas mi alma y escondes de mí tu faz?

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.

Soy miserable, y vivo muriendo desde niño; soporté tus terrores y ya no puedo más;

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.

tus iras pasaron sobre mí, y tus espantos me han anonadado.

17 [I feel as though] they surround me like a flood [SIM]; they are (closing in on/crushing) me from all sides.

Me rodean como agua todo el día, me cercan todos juntos.

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.

Has alejado de mí al amigo y al compañero, y mis familiares son las tinieblas.
