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 耶和華－拯救我的上帝啊， 我晝夜在你面前呼籲。

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

2 願我的禱告達到你面前； 求你側耳聽我的呼求！

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

3 因為我心裏滿了患難； 我的性命臨近陰間。

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

4 我算和下坑的人同列， 如同無力 的人一樣。

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 我被丟在死人中， 好像被殺的人躺在墳墓裏。 他們是你不再記念的， 與你隔絕了。

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

6 你把我放在極深的坑裏， 在黑暗地方，在深處。

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

7 你的忿怒重壓我身； 你用一切的波浪困住我。（細拉）

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

8 你把我所認識的隔在遠處， 使我為他們所憎惡； 我被拘困，不得出來。

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

9 我的眼睛因困苦而乾癟。 耶和華啊，我天天求告你，向你舉手。

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

10 你豈要行奇事給死人看嗎？ 難道陰魂還能起來稱讚你嗎？（細拉）

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

11 豈能在墳墓裏述說你的慈愛嗎？ 豈能在滅亡中述說你的信實嗎？

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

12 你的奇事豈能在幽暗裏被知道嗎？ 你的公義豈能在忘記之地被知道嗎？

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

13 耶和華啊，我呼求你； 我早晨的禱告要達到你面前。

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

14 耶和華啊，你為何丟棄我？ 為何掩面不顧我？

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

15 我自幼受苦，幾乎死亡； 我受你的驚恐，甚至慌張。

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

16 你的烈怒漫過我身； 你的驚嚇把我剪除。

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

17 這些終日如水環繞我， 一齊都來圍困我。

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

18 你把我的良朋密友隔在遠處， 使我所認識的人進入黑暗裏。
