求上帝眷顾

可拉后裔的诗,就是以斯拉人希幔的训诲诗,交给乐长,调用“麻哈拉利暗俄”[a]

88 耶和华,拯救我的上帝啊,
我昼夜不停地呼求你。
求你垂听我的祷告,
倾听我的呼求。
我饱经患难,
生命在死亡的边缘。
我被列在下坟墓的人中,
我的精力耗尽。
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。
你已经把我扔在漆黑的深渊。
你的烈怒重重地压着我,
如汹涌波涛把我淹没。(细拉)

你使我众叛亲离,遭人唾弃。
我陷入困境,无路可逃。
我的眼睛因哭泣而视力模糊。
耶和华啊,我天天呼求你,
举手向你呼求。
10 你要行神迹给死人看吗?
死人会起来赞美你吗?(细拉)
11 坟墓里的死人怎能宣扬你的慈爱呢?
灭亡的人怎能传扬你的信实呢?
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 耶和华啊,我向你呼求,
我在清晨向你祷告。
14 耶和华啊,你为何弃绝我?
为何掩面不理我?
15 我从小受苦,几乎丧命。
你使我惊恐不已,陷入绝望。
16 你的烈怒吞噬了我,
你可怕的攻击毁灭了我。
17 这些灾难如洪涛整天环绕我,
彻底围住我。
18 你使我的亲朋好友离我而去,
只有黑暗与我相伴。

A Prayer for Help in Despair

A song. A psalm of the sons of Korah.

For the music director; according to Mahalath Leannoth.

A maskil of Heman the Ezrahite.[a]

88 O Yahweh, God of my salvation,
I cry out by day and through the night before you.
Let my prayer come before you;
incline your ear to my cry.
For my soul is full with troubles,
and my life approaches Sheol.
I am reckoned with those descending to the pit.
I am like a man[b] without strength,[c]
set free[d] among the dead,
like the slain lying in the grave,
whom you no longer remember,
even those cut off from your hand.
You have set me in the pit below,
in dark places, in the depths.
Your wrath presses upon me,
and you afflict me with all your waves. Selah
You have removed my acquaintances far from me.
You have made me detestable[e] to them.
I am confined and cannot go out.
My eye languishes from misery.
I call on you, O Yahweh, every day;
I spread out my hands[f] to you.
10 Do you work wonders[g] for the dead?
Or do the departed spirits[h] rise up to praise you? Selah
11 Is your loyal love told in the grave,
or your faithfulness in the underworld?[i]
12 Are your wonders[j] known in the darkness,
or your righteousness[k] in the land of forgetfulness?
13 But as for me, I cry for help to you, O Yahweh,
and in the morning my prayer comes before you.
14 Why do you reject my soul, O Yahweh?
Why do you hide your face from me?
15 I am afflicted and perishing from my youth.
I bear your terrors. I am distraught.[l]
16 Your burning anger has passed over me;
your sudden fears have destroyed me.
17 They surround me like water all the day;
they circle about me altogether.
18 You have removed loved one and friend far from me,
my acquaintances far from my darkness.
