Psalms 88

Douai-Rheims	Nova Vulgata
¹ A canticle of a psalm for the sons of Core: unto the end, for Maheleth, to answer understanding of Eman the Ezrahite.	¹ Canticum. Psalmus. Filiorum Core. Magistro chori. Secundum " Mahalat ". Ad cantandum. Maskil. Heman Ezrahitae.
² O Lord, the God of my salvation: I have cried in the day, and in the night before thee.	² Domine, Deus salutis meae, in die clamavi et nocte coram te.
³ Let my prayer come in before thee: incline thy ear to my petition.	³ Intret in conspectu tuo oratio mea; inclina aurem tuam ad precem meam.
⁴ For my soul is filled with evils: and my life hath drawn nigh to hell.	⁴ Quia repleta est malis anima mea, et vita mea inferno appropinquavit.
⁵ I am counted among them that go down to the pit: I am become as a man without help,	⁵ Aestimatus sum cum descendentibus in lacum, factus sum sicut homo sine adiutorio.
⁶ free among the dead. Like the slain sleeping in the sepulchres, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cast off from thy hand.	⁶ Inter mortuos liber, sicut vulnerati dormientes in sepulcris; quorum non es memor amplius, et ipsi de manu tua abscissi sunt.
⁷ They have laid me in the lower pit: in the dark places, and in the shadow of death.	⁷ Posuisti me in lacu inferiori, in tenebrosis et in umbra mortis.
⁸ Thy wrath is strong over me: and all thy waves thou hast brought in upon me.	⁸ Super me gravatus est furor tuus, et omnes fluctus tuos induxisti super me.
⁹ Thou hast put away my acquaintance far from me: they have set me an abomination to themselves. I was delivered up, and came not forth:	⁹ Longe fecisti notos meos a me, posuisti me abominationem eis; conclusus sum et non egrediar.
¹⁰ my eyes languished through poverty. All the day I cried to thee, O Lord: I stretched out my hands to thee.	¹⁰ Oculi mei languerunt prae afflictione. Clamavi ad te, Domine, tota die, expandi ad te manus meas. -
¹¹ Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? or shall physicians raise to life, and give praise to thee?	¹¹ Numquid mortuis facies mirabilia, aut surgent umbrae et confitebuntur tibi?
¹² Shall any one in the sepulchre declare thy mercy: and thy truth in destruction?	¹² Numquid narrabit aliquis in sepulcro misericordiam tuam et veritatem tuam in loco perditionis?
¹³ Shall thy wonders be known in the dark; and thy justice in the land of forgetfulness?	¹³ Numquid cognoscentur in tenebris mirabilia tua, et iustitia tua in terra oblivionis?
¹⁴ But I, O Lord, have cried to thee: and in the morning my prayer shall prevent thee.	¹⁴ Et ego ad te, Domine, clamavi, et mane oratio mea praeveniet te.
¹⁵ Lord, why castest thou off my prayer: why turnest thou away thy face from me?	¹⁵ Ut quid, Domine, repellis animam meam, abscondis faciem tuam a me?
¹⁶ I am poor, and in labours from my youth: and being exalted have been humbled and troubled.	¹⁶ Pauper sum ego et moriens a iuventute mea; portavi pavores tuos et conturbatus sum.
¹⁷ Thy wrath hath come upon me: and thy terrors have troubled me.	¹⁷ Super me transierunt irae tuae, et terrores tui exciderunt me.
¹⁸ They have come round about me like water all the day: they have compassed me about together.	¹⁸ Circuierunt me sicut aqua tota die, circumdederunt me simul.
¹⁹ Friend and neighbour thou hast put far from me: and my acquaintance, because of misery.	¹⁹ Elongasti a me amicum et proximum, et noti mei sunt tenebrae.
