Textus Receptus Bibles
Jay P. Green's Literal Translation 1993
| 88:1 | A Song. A Psalm for the Sons of Korah, to the chief musician on Mahalath, to make humble. A Poem of Heman the Ezrahite. O Jehovah God of my salvation, I have cried in the day, in the night before You. |
| 88:2 | Let my prayer come before You; bow down Your ear to my cry. |
| 88:3 | For my soul is full with evils, and my life touches Sheol. |
| 88:4 | I am counted with those who go down to the Pit; I have been like a feeble man, |
| 88:5 | free among the dead, as pierced ones lying in the grave, whom You remember no more; yea by Your hand they are cut off. |
| 88:6 | You have laid me in the lowest pit, in dark places; in the deeps. |
| 88:7 | Your fury has lain hard upon me, and You afflict me with all Your waves. Selah. |
| 88:8 | You have taken my friends away from me; You have made me a hateful thing to them; I am shut up, I will not go out. |
| 88:9 | My eye mourns because of affliction; O Jehovah, I have called on You every day; I have spread out my hands to You. |
| 88:10 | For will You do wonders to the dead? Or shall the departed spirits rise and thank You? Selah. |
| 88:11 | Shall Your mercy be declared in the grave, Your faithfulness amidst ruin? |
| 88:12 | Shall Your wonders be known in the dark, and Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness? |
| 88:13 | But to You I have cried, O Jehovah; and in the morning my prayer shall go before You. |
| 88:14 | O Jehovah, why do You cast off my soul; why do You hide Your face from me? |
| 88:15 | I am afflicted and dying from childhood; I suffer Your terrors; I am distracted. |
| 88:16 | Your fierce wrath goes over me; Your terrors have cut me off. |
| 88:17 | They surrounded me like waters all the day long; they have come together around me. |
| 88:18 | You have taken lover and friend far from me, he who knows me, into darkness. |
