Salmos 88

A Song. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "The Suffering of Affliction." A contemplation by Heman, the Ezrahite.

1 Yahweh, the God of my salvation,

I have cried day and night before you.

2 Let my prayer enter into your presence.

Turn your ear to my cry.

3 For my soul is full of troubles.

My life draws near to Sheol.*88:3 Sheol is the place of the dead.

4 I am counted among those who go down into the pit.

I am like a man who has no help,

5 set apart among the dead,

like the slain who lie in the grave,

whom you remember no more.

They are cut off from your hand.

6 You have laid me in the lowest pit,

in the darkest depths.

7 Your wrath lies heavily on me.

You have afflicted me with all your waves. Selah.

8 You have taken my friends from me.

You have made me an abomination to them.

I am confined, and I can’t escape.

9 My eyes are dim from grief.

I have called on you daily, Yahweh.

I have spread out my hands to you.

10 Do you show wonders to the dead?

Do the departed spirits rise up and praise you? Selah.

11 Is your loving kindness declared in the grave?

Or your faithfulness in Destruction?

12 Are your wonders made known in the dark?

Or your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

13 But to you, Yahweh, I have cried.

In the morning, my prayer comes before you.

14 Yahweh, why do you reject my soul?

Why do you hide your face from me?

15 I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up.

While I suffer your terrors, I am distracted.

16 Your fierce wrath has gone over me.

Your terrors have cut me off.

17 They came around me like water all day long.

They completely engulfed me.

18 You have put lover and friend far from me,

and my friends into darkness.

He Tangi mō te Āwhina

He waiata, he hīmene mā ngā tama a Koraha. Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi: Maharata Reanoto. He Makiri nā Hemana Eterahi.

1 E Ihowā, e te Atua o tōku whakaoranga,

he tangi tāku ki tōu aroaro i te ao, i te pō,

2 kia tae atu tāku īnoi ki tōu aroaro;

whakatītahatia mai tōu taringa ki tāku tangi.

3 Kua kī hoki tōku wairua i te pōuri,

ā, e whakatata ana tōku ora ki te rēinga.

4 Kua taua tahitia ahau me te hunga e heke ana ki te rua;

e rite ana ahau ki te tangata kāhore ōna āwhina!

5 I makā ki waenga i ngā tūpāpaku,

me he tangata i patua e takoto ana i te urupā,

kāhore nei e maharatia e koe i muri;

he mea momotu kē rātou nā tōu ringa.

6 Kua whakatakotoria ahau e koe ki te rua i raro riro,

ki te pōuri, ki ngā rire.

7 E pēhia ana ahau e tōu riri,

e pākia ana hoki e koe ki āu ngaru katoa. Hera

8 Kua whakamataratia atu e koe ōku hoa kia tawhiti i ahau;

kua meinga ahau e koe hei mea whakarihariha ki a rātou;

kua uakina mai ahau, ā, kāhore e puta ki waho;

9 kua hē tōku kanohi i te tangihanga.

E karanga ana ahau ki a koe, e Ihowā,

i ngā rā katoa, kua totoro hoki ōku ringa ki a koe.

10 Tērā rānei koe e mahi merekara ki ngā tūpāpaku?

E ara koia te hunga kua mate ki te whakamoemiti ki a koe? Hera

11 Ka kauwhautia rānei tōu aroha i roto i te urupā?

Tōu pono i roto i te ngaromanga?

12 E mātauria koia āu mea whakamīharo i roto i te pōuri,

tōu tika i te whenua o te warewaretanga?

13 Ko ahau ia kua karanga ki a koe, e Ihowā;

ā, i te ata ka tae atu tāku īnoi ki tōu aroaro.

14 He aha, e Ihowā, i pangā ai tōku wairua e koe?

He aha i huna ai tōu mata ki ahau?

15 Nō tōku tamarikitanga ake anō i pākia ai ahau,

i whakahemohemo ai; i ahau e pēhia ana e āu whakawehi,

ka pororaru noa iho.

16 I tika tōu riri nui mā runga i ahau;

kua haukotia ahau e āu mea whakawehi.

17 Ānō he wai rātou ki te karapoti i ahau i te rā roa nei;

hui tahi rātou ki te taiāwhio i ahau.

18 Kua wehea e koe kia tawhiti atu i ahau te hoa hei aroha mai,

me ōku hoa ki roto ki te pōuri.
