88:1
O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee:
88:2
Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;
88:3
For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.
psm:16:10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
eze:31:16 I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, shall be comforted in the nether parts of the earth.
88:3 (tw) 因為我心裡滿了患難、我的性命臨近陰間。
88:3 (cn) 因为我心里满了患难,我的性命临近阴间。
88:4
I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:
88:5
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.
88:6
Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.
88:7
Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah.
88:8
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.
88:9
Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.
88:10
Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah.
88:11
Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction?
88:12
Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
88:13
But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.
88:14
LORD, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me?
88:15
I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.
88:16
Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.
88:17
They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.
88:18
Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.
