詩篇 第 88 篇

¹（可拉後裔的詩歌，就是以斯拉人希幔的訓誨詩，交與伶長。調用麻哈拉利暗俄。）耶和華─拯救我的神啊，我晝夜在你面前呼籲。O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee:

²願我的禱告達到你面前；求你側耳聽我的呼求！Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;

³因為我心裡滿了患難；我的性命臨近陰間。For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.

⁴我算和下坑的人同列，如同無力（或譯：沒有幫助）的人一樣。I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:

⁵我被丟在死人中，好像被殺的人躺在墳墓裡。他們是你不再記念的，與你隔絕了。Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.

⁶你把我放在極深的坑裡，在黑暗地方，在深處。Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.

⁷你的忿怒重壓我身；你用一切的波浪困住我。（細拉）Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah.

⁸你把我所認識的隔在遠處，使我為他們所憎惡；我被拘困，不得出來。Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.

⁹我的眼睛因困苦而乾癟。耶和華啊，我天天求告你，向你舉手。Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.

¹⁰你豈要行奇事給死人看麼？難道陰魂還能起來稱讚你麼？（細拉）Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah.

¹¹豈能在墳墓裡述說你的慈愛麼？豈能在滅亡中述說你的信實麼？Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction?

¹²你的奇事豈能在幽暗裡被知道麼？你的公義豈能在忘記之地被知道麼？Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

¹³耶和華啊，我呼求你；我早晨的禱告要達到你面前。But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.

¹⁴耶和華啊，你為何丟棄我？為何掩面不顧我？LORD, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me?

¹⁵我自幼受苦，幾乎死亡；我受你的驚恐，甚至慌張。I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.

¹⁶你的烈怒漫過我身；你的驚嚇把我剪除。Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.

¹⁷這些終日如水環繞我，一齊都來圍困我。They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.

¹⁸你把我的良朋密友隔在遠處，使我所認識的人進入黑暗裡。Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.
