Parallel
Psalms 87
Swete's Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
Ὠδὴ ψαλμοῦ τοῖς υἱοῖς Κόρε· εἰς τὸ τέλος, ὐπὲρ μαελέθ τοῦ ἀποκριθῆναι· συνέσεως Αἱμὰν τῷ Ἰσραηλείτη.
A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A song. He has founded His city on the holy mountains (note: Literally His foundation is on the holy mountains).
Κύριε ὁ θεὸς τῆς σωτηρίας μου. ἡμέρας ἐκέκραξα καὶ ἐν νυκτὶ ἐναντίον σου·
88:1
A song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. For the choirmaster. According to Mahalath Leannoth (note: Mahalath Leannoth is probably a musical or liturgical term; see also Psalm 53:1.). A Maskil (note: Maskil is probably a musical or liturgical term; used for Psalms 32, 42, 44–45, 52–55, 74, 78, 88–89, and 142.) of Heman the Ezrahite. O LORD, the God of my salvation, day and night I cry out before You.
εἰσελθέτω ἐνώπιόν σου ἡ προσευχή μου. κλῖνον τὸ οὖς σου εἰς τὴν δέησίν μου, Κύριε.
88:2
May my prayer come before You; incline Your ear to my cry.
ὅτι ἐπλήσθη κακῶν ἡ ψυχή μου. καὶ ἡ ζωή μου τῷ ᾄδῃ ἤγγισεν.
88:3
For my soul is full of troubles, and my life draws near to Sheol.
προσελογίσθην μετὰ τῶν καταβαινόντων εἰς λάκκον, ἐγενήθην ὡς ἄνθρωπος ἀβοήθητος,
88:4
I am counted among those descending to the Pit. I am like a man without strength.
ἐν νεκροῖς ἐλεύθερος· ὡσεὶ τραυματίαι ἐρριμμένοι καθεύδοντες ἐν τάφῳ, ὧν οὐκ ἐμνήσθης ἔτι, καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐκ τῆς χειρός σου ἀπώσθησαν·
88:5
I am forsaken among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom You remember no more, who are cut off from Your care.
ἔθεντό με ἐν λάκκῳ κατωτάτῳ, ἐν σκοτεινοῖς καὶ ἐν σκιᾷ θανάτου.
88:6
You have laid me in the lowest Pit, in the darkest of the depths.
ἐπʼ ἐμὲ ἐπεστηρίχθη ὁ θυμός σου, καὶ πάντας τοὺς μετεαορισμοὺς σου ἐπʼ ἐμὲ ἐπήγαγες. διάψαλμα.
88:7
Your wrath weighs heavily upon me; all Your waves have submerged me. Selah
ἐμάκρυνας τοὺς γνωστούς μου ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ, ἔθεντό με βδέλυγμα ἑαυτοῖς· παρεδόθην καὶ οὐκ ἐξεπορευόμην.
88:8
You have removed my friends from me; You have made me repulsive to them; I am confined and cannot escape.
οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου ἠσθένησαν ἀπὸ πτωχείας· καὶ ἐκέκραξα πρὸς σέ, Κύριε, ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν. διεπέτασα τὰς χεῖράς μου·
88:9
My eyes grow dim with grief. I call to You daily, O LORD; I spread out my hands to You.
μὴ τοῖς νεκροῖς ποιήσεις θαυμάσια; ἢ ἰατροὶ ἀναστήσουσιν καὶ ἐξομολογήσονταί σοι;
88:10
Do You work wonders for the dead? Do departed spirits rise up to praise You? Selah
μὴ διηγήσεταί τις ἐν τάφῳ τὸ ἔλεός σου, καὶ τὴν ἀλήθειάν σου ἐν τῇ ἀπωλίᾳ ;
88:11
Can Your loving devotion be proclaimed in the grave, Your faithfulness in Abaddon (note: Abaddon means Destruction.)?
μὴ γνωσθήσεται ἐν τῷ σκότει τὰ θαυμάσιά σου, καὶ ἡ δικαιοσύνη σου ἐν γῇ ἐπιλελησμένῃ;
88:12
Will Your wonders be known in the darkness, or Your righteousness in the land of oblivion?
κἀγώ, Κύριε, πρὸς σέ ἐκέκραξα, καὶ τὸ πρωὶ ἡ προσευχὴ μου προφθάσει σε.
88:13
But to You, O LORD, I cry for help; in the morning my prayer comes before You.
ἵνα τί, Κύριε, ἀπωθεῖς τὴν προσευχὴν μου. ἀποστρέφεις τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ;
88:14
Why, O LORD, do You reject me? Why do You hide Your face from me?
πτωχός εἰμι ἐγὼ καὶ ἐν κόποις ἐκ νεότητός μου, ὑψωθεὶς δὲ ἐταπεινώθην καὶ ἐξηπορήθην.
88:15
From my youth I was afflicted and near death. I have borne Your terrors; I am in despair.
ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ διῆλθον αἱ ὀργαί σου, καὶ οἱ φοβερισμοί σου ἐτάραξάν με.
88:16
Your wrath has swept over me; Your terrors have destroyed me.
ἐκύκλωσάν με ὡς ὕδωρ ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν. περιέσχον με ἄμα.
88:17
All day long they engulf me like water; they enclose me on every side.
ἐμάκρυνας ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ φίλον καὶ τοὺς γνωστοὺς μου ἀπὸ ταλαιπαωρίας.
88:18
You have removed my beloved and my friend; darkness is my closest companion.
