ABP - Psalms - 88

88:1  O lord, the God of my deliverance; [4day 1I cried out 5and 6at 7night 2before 3you].

88:2  Let [2enter 3before 4you 1my prayer]! Lean your ear to my supplication!

88:3  For [2is filled 3of bad things 1my soul], and my life [2Hades 1approached].

88:4  I was counted with the ones going down into the pit. I became as [2man 1an incurable];

88:5  [2among 3the dead 1free], as ones slain sleeping in the tomb, whom you do not remember any longer; and they [2from out of 3your hand 1were thrusted away].

88:6  They put me in [2pit 1the lowermost], in dark places, and in the shadow of death.

88:7  Upon me [2stayed 1your rage], and [4all 5your crests 1you brought 2upon 3me]. PAUSE.

88:8  You distanced [3the ones 4knowing 5me 1from 2me]. You made me an abomination to them. I have been delivered up, and have not gone forth.

88:9  My eyes are weakened from poorness. I cried out to you, O lord, the entire day. I opened and spread out to you my hands.

88:10  Shall [3for the 4dead 1you do 2wonders]? or shall physicians rise up and make acknowledgment to you?

88:11  Shall [4describe 1any one 2in 3the tomb] your mercy and your truth in the destruction?

88:12  Shall [2be made known 3in 4the 5darkness 1your wonders]? and your righteousness in a land being forgotten?

88:13  But I [2to 3you 4O lord 1cried out]; and in the morning my prayer shall be with you beforehand.

88:14  Why, O lord, do you thrust away my soul, and turn your face from me?

88:15  [2poor 1I am] and in troubles from my youth. But being raised up high I was humbled and left destitute.

88:16  Upon me [2went 1your angers]; your frightful things disturbed me.

88:17  They encircle me as water; the entire day they compassed me together.

88:18  You put far from me friend and near one, and the ones knowing me, because of misery.
