Psalms 88

1 A song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. For the choirmaster. According to Mahalath Leannoth. A Maskil of Heman the Ezrahite. O LORD, the God of my salvation, day and night I cry out before You.

1 耶和华，拯救我的上帝啊， 我昼夜不停地呼求你。

2 May my prayer come before You; incline Your ear to my cry.

2 求你垂听我的祷告， 侧耳听我的呼求。

3 For my soul is full of troubles, and my life draws near to Sheol.

3 我饱经患难， 生命在阴间的边缘。

4 I am counted among those descending to the Pit. I am like a man without strength.

4 我被列在下坟墓的人中， 我的精力耗尽。

5 I am forsaken among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom You remember no more, who are cut off from Your care.

5 我被扔在死人中， 如同被杀的人躺在坟墓里， 被你遗忘，不再蒙你眷顾。

6 You have laid me in the lowest Pit, in the darkest of the depths.

6 你已经把我扔在极深的坑中， 扔在漆黑的深渊。

7 Your wrath weighs heavily upon me; all Your waves have submerged me. Selah

7 你的烈怒重重地压着我， 你用汹涌的波涛把我淹没。（细拉）

8 You have removed my friends from me; You have made me repulsive to them; I am confined and cannot escape.

8 你使我众叛亲离，遭人唾弃。 我陷入困境，无路可逃。

9 My eyes grow dim with grief. I call to You daily, O LORD; I spread out my hands to You.

9 我因忧伤而眼睛昏花。 耶和华啊，我天天呼求你， 举手向你呼求。

10 Do You work wonders for the dead? Do departed spirits rise up to praise You? Selah

10 你要行神迹给死人看吗？ 死人会起来赞美你吗？（细拉）

11 Can Your loving devotion be proclaimed in the grave, Your faithfulness in Abaddon?

11 坟墓里的死人怎能述说你的慈爱呢？ 灭亡的人怎能传扬你的信实呢？

12 Will Your wonders be known in the darkness, or Your righteousness in the land of oblivion?

12 黑暗之地有谁知道你的神迹呢？ 在被遗忘之地有谁知道你的公义作为呢？

13 But to You, O LORD, I cry for help; in the morning my prayer comes before You.

13 耶和华啊，我向你呼求， 我在清晨向你祷告。

14 Why, O LORD, do You reject me? Why do You hide Your face from me?

14 耶和华啊，你为何弃绝我？ 为何掩面不理我？

15 From my youth I was afflicted and near death. I have borne Your terrors; I am in despair.

15 我从小受苦，几乎丧命。 你使我惊恐不已，陷入绝望。

16 Your wrath has swept over me; Your terrors have destroyed me.

16 你的烈怒吞噬了我， 你可怕的攻击毁灭了我。

17 All day long they engulf me like water; they enclose me on every side.

17 这些灾难如洪涛整天环绕我， 四面围住我。

18 You have removed my beloved and my friend; darkness is my closest companion.

18 你使我的亲朋好友离我而去， 只有黑暗与我相伴。
