濒死求主眷顾

88 可拉后裔的诗歌,就是以斯拉希幔的训诲诗,交于伶长。调用麻哈拉利暗俄。

耶和华拯救我的神啊,我昼夜在你面前呼吁。
愿我的祷告达到你面前,求你侧耳听我的呼求。
因为我心里满了患难,我的性命临近阴间。
我算和下坑的人同列,如同无力[a]的人一样。
我被丢在死人中,好像被杀的人躺在坟墓里,他们是你不再记念的,与你隔绝了。
你把我放在极深的坑里,在黑暗地方,在深处。
你的愤怒重压我身,你用一切的波浪困住我。(细拉)
你把我所认识的隔在远处,使我为他们所憎恶。我被拘困,不得出来。
我的眼睛因困苦而干瘪。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?难道阴魂还能起来称赞你吗?(细拉)
11 岂能在坟墓里述说你的慈爱吗?岂能在灭亡中述说你的信实吗?
12 你的奇事岂能在幽暗里被知道吗?你的公义岂能在忘记之地被知道吗?
13 耶和华啊,我呼求你,我早晨的祷告要达到你面前。
14 耶和华啊,你为何丢弃我?为何掩面不顾我?
15 我自幼受苦,几乎死亡;我受你的惊恐,甚至慌张。
16 你的烈怒漫过我身,你的惊吓把我剪除。
17 这些终日如水环绕我,一齐都来围困我。
18 你把我的良朋密友隔在远处,使我所认识的人进入黑暗里。

I Cry Out Day and Night Before You

A Song. A Psalm of (A)the Sons of Korah. To the choirmaster: according to (B)Mahalath Leannoth. A Maskil[a] of (C)Heman the Ezrahite.

88 O Lord, (D)God of my salvation;
    I (E)cry out day and night before you.
Let my prayer come before you;
    (F)incline your ear to my cry!
For my soul is full of troubles,
    and (G)my life draws near to (H)Sheol.
I am counted among those who (I)go down to the pit;
    I am a man who has no strength,
like one set loose among the dead,
    like the slain that lie in the grave,
like those whom (J)you remember no more,
    for they are (K)cut off from your hand.
You have put me in (L)the depths of the pit,
    in the (M)regions dark and (N)deep.
Your wrath (O)lies heavy upon me,
    and you overwhelm me with (P)all your waves. Selah
You have caused (Q)my companions to shun me;
    you have made me (R)a horror[b] to them.
I am (S)shut in so that I cannot escape;
    (T)my eye grows dim through sorrow.
Every day I call upon you, O Lord;
    I (U)spread out my hands to you.
10 Do you work wonders for the dead?
    (V)Do the departed rise up to praise you? Selah
11 Is your steadfast love declared in the grave,
    or your faithfulness in Abaddon?
12 Are your (W)wonders known in (X)the darkness,
    or your righteousness in the land of (Y)forgetfulness?
13 But I, O Lord, cry (Z)to you;
    (AA)in the morning my prayer comes before you.
14 O Lord, why (AB)do you cast my soul away?
    Why (AC)do you hide your face from me?
15 Afflicted and close to death from my youth up,
    I suffer your terrors; I am helpless.[c]
16 Your wrath has swept over me;
    your (AD)dreadful assaults destroy me.
17 They (AE)surround me like a flood (AF)all day long;
    they (AG)close in on me together.
18 You have caused (AH)my beloved and my friend to shun me;
    my companions have become darkness.[d]

Psalm 88[a]

A song. A psalm of the Sons of Korah. For the director of music. According to mahalath leannoth.[b] A maskil[c] of Heman the Ezrahite.

Lord, you are the God who saves me;(A)
    day and night I cry out(B) to you.
May my prayer come before you;
    turn your ear to my cry.

I am overwhelmed with troubles(C)
    and my life draws near to death.(D)
I am counted among those who go down to the pit;(E)
    I am like one without strength.(F)
I am set apart with the dead,
    like the slain who lie in the grave,
whom you remember no more,
    who are cut off(G) from your care.

You have put me in the lowest pit,
    in the darkest depths.(H)
Your wrath(I) lies heavily on me;
    you have overwhelmed me with all your waves.[d](J)
You have taken from me my closest friends(K)
    and have made me repulsive to them.
I am confined(L) and cannot escape;(M)
    my eyes(N) are dim with grief.

I call(O) to you, Lord, every day;
    I spread out my hands(P) to you.
10 Do you show your wonders to the dead?
    Do their spirits rise up and praise you?(Q)
11 Is your love declared in the grave,
    your faithfulness(R) in Destruction[e]?
12 Are your wonders known in the place of darkness,
    or your righteous deeds in the land of oblivion?

13 But I cry to you for help,(S) Lord;
    in the morning(T) my prayer comes before you.(U)
14 Why, Lord, do you reject(V) me
    and hide your face(W) from me?

15 From my youth(X) I have suffered(Y) and been close to death;
    I have borne your terrors(Z) and am in despair.(AA)
16 Your wrath(AB) has swept over me;
    your terrors(AC) have destroyed me.
17 All day long they surround me like a flood;(AD)
    they have completely engulfed me.
18 You have taken from me friend(AE) and neighbor—
    darkness is my closest friend.
