Salmos 88
1 Una canción. Un Salmo de los hijos de Coré. Para el músico principal. Con la melodía de “El sufrimiento de la aflicción”. Una contemplación de Hemán, el ezraíta. Yahvé, el Dios de mi salvación, He llorado día y noche ante ti.
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.
2 Deja que mi oración entre en tu presencia. Poner el oído en mi grito.
Listen [IDM] to my prayer [DOU], while I cry out to you [for help]!
I have experienced many troubles/difficulties, and I am about to die [MTY] and go where dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
4 Me cuentan entre los que bajan a la fosa. Soy como un hombre que no tiene ayuda,
Because I have no more strength, [other people also] consider that I will soon die.
5 apartada entre los muertos, como los muertos que yacen en la tumba, de quien ya no te acuerdas. Están cortados de su mano.
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.
6 Me has puesto en el pozo más bajo, en las profundidades más oscuras.
[It is as though] you have thrown me into a deep, dark pit, into a place where they throw corpses.
7 Tu ira pesa sobre mí. Me has afligido con todas tus olas. (Selah)
[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].
8 Me has quitado a mis amigos. Me has convertido en una abominación para ellos. Estoy confinado y no puedo escapar.
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.
9 Mis ojos están oscurecidos por el dolor. Te he invocado a diario, Yahvé. He extendido mis manos hacia ti.
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].
10 ¿Muestra usted maravillas a los muertos? ¿Los espíritus difuntos se levantan y te alaban? (Selah)
You certainly do not [RHQ] perform miracles for dead people! Their spirits do not [RHQ] arise to praise you!
11 ¿Se declara tu bondad en la tumba? ¿O su fidelidad en la Destrucción?
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].
12 ¿Se dan a conocer tus maravillas en la oscuridad? ¿O tu justicia en la tierra del olvido?
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.
13 Pero a ti, Yahvé, he clamado. Por la mañana, mi oración se presenta ante ti.
But [as for me], Yahweh, I cry out to you [to help me]; each morning I pray to you.
14 Yahvé, ¿por qué rechazas mi alma? ¿Por qué me ocultas la cara?
Yahweh, why do you reject me [RHQ]? Why do you turn away from me [RHQ]?
15 Estoy afligido y dispuesto a morir desde mi juventud. Mientras sufro tus terrores, me distraigo.
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.
16 Tu ira feroz ha pasado por encima de mí. Tus terrores me han aislado.
[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.
17 Venían a mi alrededor como el agua durante todo el día. Me envolvieron por completo.
[I feel as though] they surround me like a flood [SIM]; they are (closing in on/crushing) me from all sides.
18 Has puesto lejos de mí al amante y al amigo, y mis amigos en la oscuridad.
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.
