\d A psalm that expresses sadness, written for the choir director by Zerah's son Heman, one of the descendants of Korah
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 1 Yahweh God, you who rescue me, all during each day I call out to you to help me,
|
|
\q1 and I cry out to you during each night also.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 Listen to my prayer
|
|
\q2 while I cry out to you for help!
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 3 I have experienced many troubles,
|
|
\q2 and I am about to die and go where dead people are.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 4 Because I have no more strength,
|
|
\q2 other people believe that I will soon die.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 5 I am like a corpse that has been abandoned;
|
|
\q2 I am like dead people who lie in their graves,
|
|
\q2 people who have been completely forgotten
|
|
\q2 because you do not take care of them anymore.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 6 It is as though you have thrown me into a deep, dark pit,
|
|
\q2 into a place where they throw corpses.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 It seems as though you are very angry with me,
|
|
\q1 and it is as though you have crushed me as ocean waves crash down on people.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 8 You have caused my friends to avoid me;
|
|
\q2 I have become repulsive to them.
|
|
\q1 It is as though I were in a prison and cannot escape.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 9 My eyes cannot see well because I cry very much.
|
|
\q2 Yahweh, every day I call out to you to help me;
|
|
\q2 I lift up my hands to you while I pray.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 10 You certainly do not perform miracles for dead people!
|
|
\q1 Their spirits do not arise to praise you!
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 11 Corpses in the grave certainly do not tell about your faithfully loving us,
|
|
\q2 and in the place where people are finally destroyed,
|
|
\q2 no one tells about what you faithfully do for us.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 12 No one in the deep, dark pit ever sees the miracles that you perform,
|
|
\q2 and no one in the place where people have been completely forgotten tells about your being good to us.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 13 But as for me, Yahweh, I cry out to you to help me;
|
|
\q2 each morning I pray to you.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 14 Yahweh, why do you reject me?
|
|
\q2 Why do you turn away from me?
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 15 All the time since I was young, I have suffered and have often almost died;
|
|
\q1 I am in despair because of enduring the terrible things that you have done to me.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 16 I feel that you have crushed me because of your being angry with me;
|
|
\q2 the terrible things that you are doing to me are almost destroying me.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 17 It is as though they surround me like a flood;
|
|
\q2 they are closing in on me from all sides.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 18 You have caused even my friends and others whom I love to avoid me,
|
|
\q2 and it is as though the only friend that I have is darkness.
