Psalm 88 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

A Petition to Be Saved from Death.

Psa 88:1A Song, a Psalm, by sons of Korah, to the Overseer, 'Concerning the Sickness of Afflictions.' -- An instruction, by Heman the Ezrahite. O Jehovah, God of my salvation, Daily I have cried, nightly before Thee,

Psa 88:2

Psa 88:2My prayer cometh in before Thee, Incline Thine ear to my loud cry,

Psa 88:3

Psa 88:3For my soul hath been full of evils, And my life hath come to Sheol.

Psa 88:4

Psa 88:4I have been reckoned with those going down to the pit, I have been as a man without strength.

Psa 88:5

Psa 88:5Among the dead -- free, As pierced ones lying in the grave, Whom Thou hast not remembered any more, Yea, they by Thy hand have been cut off.

Psa 88:6

Psa 88:6Thou hast put me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in depths.

Psa 88:7

Psa 88:7Upon me hath Thy fury lain, And with all Thy breakers Thou hast afflicted. Selah.

Psa 88:8

Psa 88:8Thou hast put mine acquaintance far from me, Thou hast made me an abomination to them, Shut up -- I go not forth.

Psa 88:9

Psa 88:9Mine eye hath grieved because of affliction, I called Thee, O Jehovah, all the day, I have spread out unto Thee my hands.

Psa 88:10

Psa 88:10To the dead dost Thou do wonders? Do Rephaim rise? do they thank Thee? Selah.

Psa 88:11

Psa 88:11Is Thy kindness recounted in the grave? Thy faithfulness in destruction?

Psa 88:12

Psa 88:12Are Thy wonders known in the darkness? And Thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

Psa 88:13

Psa 88:13And I, unto Thee, O Jehovah, I have cried, And in the morning doth my prayer come before Thee.

Psa 88:14

Psa 88:14Why, O Jehovah, castest Thou off my soul? Thou hidest Thy face from me.

Psa 88:15

Psa 88:15I am afflicted, and expiring from youth, I have borne Thy terrors -- I pine away.

Psa 88:16

Psa 88:16Over me hath Thy wrath passed, Thy terrors have cut me off,

Psa 88:17

Psa 88:17They have surrounded me as waters all the day, They have gone round against me together,

Psa 88:18

Psa 88:18Thou hast put far from me lover and friend, Mine acquaintance is the place of darkness!
