Mazmur 88
1 Nyanyian. Mazmur bani Korah. Untuk pemimpin biduan. Menurut lagu: Mahalat Leanot. Nyanyian pengajaran Heman, orang Ezrahi. Ya TUHAN, Allah yang menyelamatkan aku, siang hari aku berseru-seru, pada waktu malam aku menghadap Engkau.
A Canticle Psalm to the sons of Korah. Unto the end. For Mahalath, to answer the understanding of Heman the Ezrahite. O Lord, God of my salvation: I have cried out, day and night, in your presence.
2 Biarlah doaku datang ke hadapan-Mu, sendengkanlah telinga-Mu kepada teriakku;
Let my prayer enter in your sight. Incline your ear to my petition.
For my soul has been filled with evils, and my life has drawn near to Hell. (Sheol h7585)
4 Aku telah dianggap termasuk orang-orang yang turun ke liang kubur; aku seperti orang yang tidak berkekuatan.
I am considered to be among those who will descend into the pit. I have become like a man without assistance,
5 Aku harus tinggal di antara orang-orang mati, seperti orang-orang yang mati dibunuh, terbaring dalam kubur, yang tidak Kauingat lagi, sebab mereka terputus dari kuasa-Mu.
idle among the dead. I am like the wounded sleeping in sepulchers, whom you no longer remember, and who have been repelled by your hand.
6 Telah Kautaruh aku dalam liang kubur yang paling bawah, dalam kegelapan, dalam tempat yang dalam.
They have lain me in the lower pit: in dark places and in the shadow of death.
7 Aku tertekan oleh panas murka-Mu, dan segala pecahan ombak-Mu Kautindihkan kepadaku. (Sela)
Your fury has been confirmed over me. And you have brought all your waves upon me.
8 Telah Kaujauhkan kenalan-kenalanku dari padaku, telah Kaubuat aku menjadi kekejian bagi mereka. Aku tertahan dan tidak dapat keluar;
You have sent my acquaintances far from me. They have set me as an abomination to themselves. I was handed over, yet I did not depart.
9 mataku merana karena sengsara. Aku telah berseru kepada-Mu, ya TUHAN, sepanjang hari, telah mengulurkan tanganku kepada-Mu.
My eyes languished before destitution. All day long, I cried out to you, O Lord. I stretched out my hands to you.
10 Apakah Kaulakukan keajaiban bagi orang-orang mati? Masakan arwah bangkit untuk bersyukur kepada-Mu? (Sela)
Will you perform wonders for the dead? Or will physicians raise to life, and so confess to you?
11 Dapatkah kasih-Mu diberitakan di dalam kubur, dan kesetiaan-Mu di tempat kebinasaan?
Could anyone declare your mercy in the sepulcher, or your truth from within perdition?
12 Diketahui orangkah keajaiban-keajaiban-Mu dalam kegelapan, dan keadilan-Mu di negeri segala lupa?
Will your wonders be known in the darkness, or your justice in the land of oblivion?
13 Tetapi aku ini, ya TUHAN, kepada-Mu aku berteriak minta tolong, dan pada waktu pagi doaku datang ke hadapan-Mu.
And I have cried out to you, O Lord, and in early morning, my prayer will come before you.
14 Mengapa, ya TUHAN, Kaubuang aku, Kausembunyikan wajah-Mu dari padaku?
Lord, why do you reject my prayer? Why do you turn your face away from me?
15 Aku tertindas dan menjadi inceran maut sejak kecil, aku telah menanggung kengerian dari pada-Mu, aku putus asa.
I am poor, and I have been amid hardships from my youth. And, though I have been exalted, I am humbled and disturbed.
16 Kehangatan murka-Mu menimpa aku, kedahsyatan-Mu membungkamkan aku,
Your wrath has crossed into me, and your terrors have disturbed me.
17 mengelilingi aku seperti air banjir sepanjang hari, mengepung aku serentak.
They have surrounded me like water, all day long. They have surrounded me, all at once.
18 Telah Kaujauhkan dari padaku sahabat dan teman, kenalan-kenalanku adalah kegelapan.
Friend and neighbor, and my acquaintances, you have sent far away from me, away from misery.
