Psalms 88:1-6

WYC

NIV

1 The song of the psalm, to the sons of Korah, to victory on Mahalath, for to answer the learning of Heman, (the) Ezrahite. Lord God of mine health; I cried in day and night before thee. (The song of the psalm, for the sons of Korah, to victory on Mahalath, to answer the teaching of Heman, the Ezrahite. Lord God of my salvation; I have cried day and night before thee.)
1 LORD, you are the God who saves me; day and night I cry out to you.
2 My prayer enter before thy sight (Let my prayer come before thee); bow down thine ear to my prayer.
2 May my prayer come before you; turn your ear to my cry.
3 For my soul is [full-]filled with evils; and my life nighed to hell. (For my soul is filled full of evils; and my life came near to Sheol, that is, the land of the dead/and my life nighed to the grave.)
3 I am overwhelmed with troubles and my life draws near to death.
4 I am guessed with them that go down into the pit; I am made as a man without help,
4 I am counted among those who go down to the pit; I am like one without strength.
5 and free among dead men. As men wounded sleeping in sepulchres, of which men none (thou) is mindful (of) after; and they be put away from thine hand. (and free among the dead. Like the slain who sleep in tombs, or graves, of whom there is no one thou remembereth any more; yea, they all be cut off from thy help, or thy care.)
5 I am set apart with the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom you remember no more, who are cut off from your care.
6 They have put me in the lower pit; in dark places, and in the shadow of death.
6 You have put me in the lowest pit, in the darkest depths.
