88 (A)Ayi Mukama Katonda, Omulokozi wange,
    nkaaba emisana n’ekiro mu maaso go.
Kkiriza okusaba kwange kutuuke gy’oli;
    otege okutu kwo nga nkukoowoola.

(B)Kubanga emmeeme yange ejjudde ebizibu,
    era nsemberedde okufa.
(C)Mbalirwa mu abo abaserengeta emagombe;
    nfaanana ng’omuntu atalina maanyi.
(D)Bandese wano ng’afudde,
    nga ndi ng’abo be basse abalinda obulinzi entaana,
nga tokyaddayo kubajjukira,
    era nga tewakyali kya kubakolera.

(E)Ontadde mu kinnya ekisinga obuwanvu,
    era eky’ekizikiza ekikutte ennyo.
(F)Obusungu bwo bumbuubuukiddeko nnyo,
    ng’ennyanja esiikuuse n’amayengo gaayo ne gankuba okusukkirira.
(G)Ab’emikwano abasingira ddala okunjagala obammazeeko,
    n’onfuula ekyenyinyalwa gye bali.
Nsibiddwa, so sisobola kwesumattula.
    (H)Amaaso gange gayimbadde olw’ennaku.

Nkukoowoola buli lunaku, Ayi Mukama,
    ne ngolola emikono gyange gy’oli nga nkwegayirira.
10 (I)Ebyamagero byo onoobikoleranga bafu?
    Abafudde banaagolokokanga ne bakutendereza?
11 (J)Okwagala kwo onookulaganga abali emagombe
    n’obwesigwa bwo abo abali mu kifo eky’okuzikirira?
12 Ebyamagero byo binaamanyibwanga mu kifo ekyo eky’ekizikiza?
    Oba ebikolwa byo eby’obutuukirivu bwo bye binaamanyibwanga mu nsi eyamala edda okwerabirwa?

13 (K)Naye nze, Ayi Mukama, naakabiriranga ggwe okunnyamba;
    buli nkya okusaba kwange kunaatuukanga gy’oli.
14 (L)Ayi Mukama, onsuulidde ki?
    Onkwekedde ki amaaso go?

15 (M)Ombonyaabonyezza okuviira ddala mu buvubuka bwange, era nga mbeera kumpi n’okufa;
    ngumiikirizza nnyo entiisa yo, era kaakano mpweddemu essuubi.
16 Obusungu bwo obubuubuuka bunzigwereddeko era bunzikkiriza.
    Entiisa yo tendeseemu ka buntu.
17 (N)Binzingiza nga mukoka olunaku lwonna;
    binsaanikiridde ddala.
18 (O)Ommazeeko ab’emikwano n’abo abanjagala ennyo;
    nsigazza nzikiza yokka.

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]
