A SongH7892 or PsalmH4210 for the sonsH1121 of KorahH7141, to the chief MusicianH5329 upon MahalathH4257 LeannothH6031, MaschilH4905 of HemanH1968 the EzrahiteH250. O LORDH3068 GodH430 of my salvationH3444, I have criedH6817 dayH3117 and nightH3915 before thee: {for the sons: or, of the sons} {Maschil…: or, A Psalm of Heman the Ezrahite, giving instruction}
Let my prayerH8605 comeH935 beforeH6440 thee: inclineH5186 thine earH241 unto my cryH7440;
For my soulH5315 is fullH7646 of troublesH7451: and my lifeH2416 draweth nighH5060 unto the graveH7585.
I am countedH2803 with them that go downH3381 into the pitH953: I am as a manH1397 that hath no strengthH353:
FreeH2670 among the deadH4191, like the slainH2491 that lieH7901 in the graveH6913, whom thou rememberestH2142 no more: and they are cut offH1504 from thy handH3027. {from: or, by}
Thou hast laidH7896 me in the lowestH8482 pitH953, in darknessH4285, in the deepsH4688.
Thy wrathH2534 lieth hardH5564 upon me, and thou hast afflictedH6031 me with all thy wavesH4867. SelahH5542.
Thou hast put awayH7368 mine acquaintanceH3045 farH7368 from me; thou hast madeH7896 me an abominationH8441 unto them: I am shut upH3607, and I cannot come forthH3318.
Mine eyeH5869 mournethH1669 by reason of afflictionH6040: LORDH3068, I have calledH7121 dailyH3117 upon thee, I have stretched outH7849 my handsH3709 unto thee.
Wilt thou shewH6213 wondersH6382 to the deadH4191? shall the deadH7496 ariseH6965 and praiseH3034 thee? SelahH5542.
Shall thy lovingkindnessH2617 be declaredH5608 in the graveH6913? or thy faithfulnessH530 in destructionH11?
Shall thy wondersH6382 be knownH3045 in the darkH2822? and thy righteousnessH6666 in the landH776 of forgetfulnessH5388?
But unto thee have I criedH7768, O LORDH3068; and in the morningH1242 shall my prayerH8605 preventH6923 thee.
LORDH3068, why castest thou offH2186 my soulH5315? why hidestH5641 thou thy faceH6440 from me?
I am afflictedH6041 and ready to dieH1478 from my youthH5290 up: while I sufferH5375 thy terrorsH367 I am distractedH6323.
Thy fierce wrathH2740 goeth overH5674 me; thy terrorsH1161 have cut me offH6789.
They came round aboutH5437 me dailyH3117 like waterH4325; they compassedH5362 me about togetherH3162. {daily: or, all the day}
LoverH157 and friendH7453 hast thou put farH7368 from me, and mine acquaintanceH3045 into darknessH4285.
Querverweise zu Psalm 88,15 Ps 88,15
For all the dayH3117 long have I been plaguedH5060, and chastenedH8433 every morningH1242. {chastened: Heb. my chastisement was}
I am poured outH8210 like waterH4325, and all my bonesH6106 are out of jointH6504: my heartH3820 is like waxH1749; it is meltedH4549 in the midstH8432 of my bowelsH4578. {out of…: or, sundered}
My breathH7307 is corruptH2254, my daysH3117 are extinctH2193, the gravesH6913 are ready for me. {breath…: or, spirit is spent}
My strengthH3581 is dried upH3001 like a potsherdH2789; and my tongueH3956 cleavethH1692 to my jawsH4455; and thou hast broughtH8239 me into the dustH6083 of deathH4194.
My daysH3117 are pastH5674, my purposesH2154 are broken offH5423, even the thoughtsH4180 of my heartH3824. {the thoughts: Heb. the possessions}
They changeH7760 the nightH3915 into dayH3117: the lightH216 is shortH7138 becauseH6440 of darknessH2822. {short: Heb. near}
If I waitH6960, the graveH7585 is mine houseH1004: I have madeH7502 my bedH3326 in the darknessH2822.
I have saidH7121 to corruptionH7845, Thou art my fatherH1: to the wormH7415, Thou art my motherH517, and my sisterH269. {said: Heb. cried, or, called}
And where is nowH645 my hopeH8615? as for my hopeH8615, who shall seeH7789 it?
They shall go downH3381 to the barsH905 of the pitH7585, when our restH5183 togetherH3162 is in the dustH6083.
For the arrowsH2671 of the AlmightyH7706 are withinH5978 me, the poisonH2534 whereof drinketh upH8354 my spiritH7307: the terrorsH1161 of GodH433 do set themselves in arrayH6186 against me.
He is despisedH959 and rejectedH2310 of menH376; a manH376 of sorrowsH4341, and acquaintedH3045 with griefH2483: and we hid as it wereH4564 our facesH6440 from him; he was despisedH959, and we esteemedH2803 him not. {we hid…: or, he hid as it were his face from us: Heb. as an hiding of faces from him, or, from us}
Therefore I will not refrainH2820 my mouthH6310; I will speakH1696 in the anguishH6862 of my spiritH7307; I will complainH7878 in the bitternessH4751 of my soulH5315.
Am I a seaH3220, or a whaleH8577, that thou settestH7760 a watchH4929 over me?
When I sayH559, My bedH6210 shall comfortH5162 me, my couchH4904 shall easeH5375 my complaintH7879;
Then thou scarestH2865 me with dreamsH2472, and terrifiestH1204 me through visionsH2384:
So that my soulH5315 choosethH977 stranglingH4267, and deathH4194 rather than my lifeH6106. {life: Heb. bones}
I loatheH3988 it; I would not liveH2421 alwayH5769: let me aloneH2308; for my daysH3117 are vanityH1892.
Yet it pleasedH2654 the LORDH3068 to bruiseH1792 him; he hath put him to griefH2470: when thou shalt makeH7760 his soulH5315 an offering for sinH817, he shall seeH7200 his seedH2233, he shall prolongH748 his daysH3117, and the pleasureH2656 of the LORDH3068 shall prosperH6743 in his handH3027. {thou…: or, his soul shall make an offering}
