Psalms 88

New Jerusalem Bible	Nova Vulgata
¹ [Song Psalm Of the sons of Korah In sickness In suffering Poem For Heman the native-born] Yahweh,God of my salvation, when I cry out to you in the night,	¹ Canticum. Psalmus. Filiorum Core. Magistro chori. Secundum " Mahalat ". Ad cantandum. Maskil. Heman Ezrahitae.
² may my prayer reach your presence, hear my cry for help.	² Domine, Deus salutis meae, in die clamavi et nocte coram te.
³ For I am fil ed with misery, my life is on the brink of Sheol;	³ Intret in conspectu tuo oratio mea; inclina aurem tuam ad precem meam.
⁴ already numbered among those who sink into oblivion, I am as one bereft of strength,	⁴ Quia repleta est malis anima mea, et vita mea inferno appropinquavit.
⁵ left alone among the dead, like the slaughtered lying in the grave, whom you remember no more, cutoff as they are from your protection.	⁵ Aestimatus sum cum descendentibus in lacum, factus sum sicut homo sine adiutorio.
⁶ You have plunged me to the bottom of the grave, in the darkness, in the depths;	⁶ Inter mortuos liber, sicut vulnerati dormientes in sepulcris; quorum non es memor amplius, et ipsi de manu tua abscissi sunt.
⁷ weighted down by your anger, kept low by your waves.Pause	⁷ Posuisti me in lacu inferiori, in tenebrosis et in umbra mortis.
⁸ You have deprived me of my friends, made me repulsive to them, imprisoned, with no escape;	⁸ Super me gravatus est furor tuus, et omnes fluctus tuos induxisti super me.
⁹ my eyes are worn out with suffering. I call to you, Yahweh, al day, I stretch out my hands to you.	⁹ Longe fecisti notos meos a me, posuisti me abominationem eis; conclusus sum et non egrediar.
¹⁰ Do you work wonders for the dead, can shadows rise up to praise you?Pause	¹⁰ Oculi mei languerunt prae afflictione. Clamavi ad te, Domine, tota die, expandi ad te manus meas. -
¹¹ Do they speak in the grave of your faithful love, of your constancy in the place of perdition?	¹¹ Numquid mortuis facies mirabilia, aut surgent umbrae et confitebuntur tibi?
¹² Are your wonders known in the darkness, your saving justice in the land of oblivion?	¹² Numquid narrabit aliquis in sepulcro misericordiam tuam et veritatem tuam in loco perditionis?
¹³ But, for my part, I cry to you, Yahweh, every morning my prayer comes before you;	¹³ Numquid cognoscentur in tenebris mirabilia tua, et iustitia tua in terra oblivionis?
¹⁴ why, Yahweh, do you rebuff me, turn your face away from me?	¹⁴ Et ego ad te, Domine, clamavi, et mane oratio mea praeveniet te.
¹⁵ Wretched and close to death since childhood, I have borne your terrors -- I am finished!	¹⁵ Ut quid, Domine, repellis animam meam, abscondis faciem tuam a me?
¹⁶ Your anger has overwhelmed me, your terrors annihilated me.	¹⁶ Pauper sum ego et moriens a iuventute mea; portavi pavores tuos et conturbatus sum.
¹⁷ They flood around me al day long, close in on me al at once.	¹⁷ Super me transierunt irae tuae, et terrores tui exciderunt me.
¹⁸ You have deprived me of friends and companions, and al that I know is the dark.	¹⁸ Circuierunt me sicut aqua tota die, circumdederunt me simul.
	¹⁹ Elongasti a me amicum et proximum, et noti mei sunt tenebrae.
