Psalm 88
New American Standard Bible
A Petition to Be Saved from Death.
A Song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. For the music director; according to Mahalath Leannoth. A [a]Maskil of Heman [b]the Ezrahite.
88 Lord, the (A)God of my salvation,
I have (B)cried out by day and in the night before You.
2 Let my prayer (C)come before You;
(D)Incline Your ear to my cry!
3 For my (E)soul has [c]had enough troubles,
And (F)my life has approached [d]Sheol.
4 I am counted among those who (G)go down to the pit;
I have become like a man (H)without strength,
5 [e]Abandoned (I)among the dead,
Like the slain who lie in the grave,
Whom You no longer remember,
And they are (J)cut off from Your hand.
6 You have put me in (K)the lowest pit,
In (L)dark places, in the (M)depths.
7 Your wrath (N)has rested upon me,
And You have afflicted me with (O)all Your waves. Selah
8 You have removed (P)my acquaintances far from me;
You have made me an [f](Q)object of loathing to them;
I am (R)shut up and cannot go out.
9 My (S)eye grows dim from misery;
I have (T)called upon You every day, Lord;
I have (U)spread out my [g]hands to You.
10 Will You perform wonders for the dead?
Or will (V)the departed spirits rise and praise You? Selah
11 Will Your graciousness be declared in the grave,
Your faithfulness in [h]Abaddon?
12 Will Your wonders be made known in the (W)darkness?
And Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
13 But I, Lord, have cried out (X)to You for help,
And (Y)in the morning my prayer comes before You.
14 Lord, why (Z)do You reject my soul?
Why do You (AA)hide Your face from me?
15 I was miserable and (AB)about to die from my youth on;
I suffer (AC)Your terrors; I grow weary.
16 Your (AD)burning anger has passed over me;
Your terrors have [i](AE)destroyed me.
17 They have (AF)surrounded me (AG)like water all day long;
They have (AH)encircled me altogether.
18 You have removed (AI)lover and friend far from me;
My acquaintances are in a hiding place.

诗篇 88
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
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。
2 求你垂听我的祷告，
倾听我的呼求。
3 我饱经患难，
生命在死亡的边缘。
4 我被列在下坟墓的人中，
我的精力耗尽。
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 你已经把我扔在漆黑的深渊。
7 你的烈怒重重地压着我，
如汹涌波涛把我淹没。（细拉）
8 你使我众叛亲离，遭人唾弃。
我陷入困境，无路可逃。
9 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。
