诗篇 88
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
可拉后裔的诗歌，就是以斯拉人希幔的训诲诗。交给圣咏团长，曲调用“麻哈拉利暗俄”。
求主眷顾
88 耶和华—拯救我的 神啊，
我昼夜在你面前呼求；
2 愿我的祷告达到你面前，
求你侧耳听我的恳求！
3 因为我心里满了患难，
我的性命临近阴间；
4 我与下到地府的人同列，
如同无人帮助的人一样。
5 我被丢在死人中，
好像被杀的人躺在坟墓里，
不再被你记得，
与你的手隔绝了。
6 你把我放在极深的地府里，
在黑暗地，在深处。
7 你的愤怒重压我身，
你用一切的波浪困住我。（细拉）
8 你把我所认识的人隔在远处，
使我为他们所憎恶；
我被拘禁，不能出来。
9 我的眼睛因困苦而昏花；
耶和华啊，我天天求告你，向你举手。
10 你岂要行奇事给死人看吗？
阴魂还能起来称谢你吗？（细拉）
11 你的慈爱岂能在坟墓里被人述说吗？
你的信实岂能在冥府[a]被人传扬吗？
12 你的奇事岂能在幽暗里为人所知吗？
你的公义岂能在遗忘之地为人所识吗？
13 耶和华啊，至于我，我要呼求你；
每早晨，我的祷告要达到你面前。
14 耶和华啊，你为何丢弃我？
为何转脸不顾我？
15 我自幼受苦，几乎死亡；
你使我惊恐，烦乱不安。
16 你的烈怒漫过我身，
你用惊吓把我除灭。
17 这些如水终日环绕我，
一起围困我。
18 你把我的良朋密友隔在远处，
使我所认识的人都在黑暗里[b]。
Psalm 88
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Psalm 88[a]
A Despairing Lament
1 A song; a psalm of the Korahites. For the leader; according to Mahalath. For singing; a maskil of Heman the Ezrahite.
I
2 Lord, the God of my salvation, I call out by day;
at night I cry aloud in your presence.(A)
3 Let my prayer come before you;
incline your ear to my cry.(B)
4 [b]For my soul is filled with troubles;(C)
my life draws near to Sheol.
5 I am reckoned with those who go down to the pit;
I am like a warrior without strength.
6 My couch is among the dead,
like the slain who lie in the grave.
You remember them no more;
they are cut off from your influence.
7 You plunge me into the bottom of the pit,
into the darkness of the abyss.
8 Your wrath lies heavy upon me;
all your waves crash over me.(D)
Selah
II
9 Because of you my acquaintances shun me;
you make me loathsome to them;(E)
Caged in, I cannot escape;
10 my eyes grow dim from trouble.
All day I call on you, Lord;
I stretch out my hands to you.
11 [c]Do you work wonders for the dead?
Do the shades arise and praise you?(F)
Selah
III
12 Is your mercy proclaimed in the grave,
your faithfulness among those who have perished?[d]
13 Are your marvels declared in the darkness,
your righteous deeds in the land of oblivion?
IV
14 But I cry out to you, Lord;
in the morning my prayer comes before you.
15 Why do you reject my soul, Lord,
and hide your face from me?
16 I have been mortally afflicted since youth;
I have borne your terrors and I am made numb.
17 Your wrath has swept over me;
your terrors have destroyed me.(G)
18 All day they surge round like a flood;
from every side they encircle me.
19 Because of you friend and neighbor shun me;(H)
my only friend is darkness.
Footnotes
- Psalm 88 A lament in which the psalmist prays for rescue from the alienation of approaching death. Each of the three stanzas begins with a call to God (Ps 88:2, 10, 14) and complains of the death that separates one from God. The tone is persistently grim.
- 88:4–8 In imagination the psalmist already experiences the alienation of Sheol.
- 88:11–13 The psalmist seeks to persuade God to act out of concern for divine honor: the shades give you no worship, so keep me alive to offer you praise.
- 88:12 Perished: lit., “Abaddon,” the deepest part of Sheol.
