Salmos 88

The understanding of Ethan the Ezrahite.

Canción: Salmo para los hijos de Coré: al Músico principal: para cantar sobre Mahalath: Masquil de Hemán Ezrahita. OH Jehová, Dios de mi salud, día y noche clamo delante de ti.

O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee:

LORD, the God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before you.

I will sing the mercies of the Lord in eternity. I will announce your truth with my mouth, from generation to generation.

Entre mi oración en tu presencia: inclina tu oído á mi clamor.

Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;

Let my prayer enter into your presence. Turn your ear to my cry.

For you have said: Mercy will be built in the heavens, unto eternity. Your truth will be prepared there.

Porque mi alma está harta de males, y mi vida cercana al sepulcro.

For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.

For my soul is full of troubles. My life draws near to Sheol.

I have set up a covenant with my elect. I have sworn to David my servant:

Soy contado con los que descienden al hoyo, soy como hombre sin fuerza:

I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:

I am counted among those who go down into the pit. I am like a man who has no help,

I will prepare your offspring, even in eternity. And I will build up your throne, from generation to generation.

Libre entre los muertos, como los matados que yacen en el sepulcro, que no te acuerdas más de ellos, y que son cortados de tu mano.

Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.

set apart among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom you remember no more. They are cut off from your hand.

The heavens will confess your miracles, Lord, and also your truth, in the Church of the saints.

Hasme puesto en el hoyo profundo, en tinieblas, en honduras.

Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.

You have laid me in the lowest pit, in the darkest depths.

For who among the clouds is equal to the Lord? Who among the sons of God is like God?

Sobre mí se ha acostado tu ira, y me has afligido con todas tus ondas. (Selah.)

Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah.

Your wrath lies heavily on me. You have afflicted me with all your waves. Selah.

God is glorified by the counsel of the saints. He is great and terrible above all those who are around him.

Has alejado de mí mis conocidos: hasme puesto por abominación á ellos: encerrado estoy, y no puedo salir.

Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.

You have taken my friends from me. You have made me an abomination to them. I am confined, and I can’t escape.

O Lord, God of hosts, who is like you? You are powerful, Lord, and your truth is all around you.

Mis ojos enfermaron á causa de mi aflicción: hete llamado, oh Jehová, cada día; he extendido á ti mis manos.

Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.

My eyes are dim from grief. I have called on you daily, LORD. I have spread out my hands to you.

You rule over the power of the sea, and you even mitigate the movement of its waves.

¿Harás tú milagro á los muertos? ¿levantaránse los muertos para alabarte? (Selah.)

Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah.

Do you show wonders to the dead? Do the departed spirits rise up and praise you? Selah.

You have humbled the arrogant one, like one who has been wounded. You have scattered your enemies with the arm of your strength.

¿Será contada en el sepulcro tu misericordia, ó tu verdad en la perdición?

Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction?

Is your loving kindness declared in the grave? Or your faithfulness in Destruction?

Yours are the heavens, and yours is the earth. You founded the whole world in all its fullness.

¿Será conocida en las tinieblas tu maravilla, ni tu justicia en la tierra del olvido?

Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

Are your wonders made known in the dark? Or your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

You created the north and the sea. Tabor and Hermon will exult in your name.

Mas yo á ti he clamado, oh Jehová; y de mañana mi oración te previno.

But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.

But to you, LORD, I have cried. In the morning, my prayer comes before you.

Your arm acts with power. Let your hand be strengthened, and let your right hand be exalted.

¿Por qué, oh Jehová, desechas mi alma? ¿por qué escondes de mí tu rostro?

LORD, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me?

LORD, why do you reject my soul? Why do you hide your face from me?

Justice and judgment are the preparation of your throne. Mercy and truth will precede your face.

Yo soy afligido y menesteroso: desde la mocedad he llevado tus terrores, he estado medroso.

I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.

I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up. While I suffer your terrors, I am distracted.

Blessed is the people that knows jubilation. They will walk in the light of your countenance, O Lord,

Sobre mí han pasado tus iras; tus espantos me han cortado.

Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.

Your fierce wrath has gone over me. Your terrors have cut me off.

and they will exult in your name all day long, and they will be exalted in your justice.

Hanme rodeado como aguas de continuo; hanme cercado á una.

They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.

They came around me like water all day long. They completely engulfed me.

For you are the glory of their virtue, and in your goodness, our horn will be exalted.

Has alejado de mí el amigo y el compañero; y mis conocidos se esconden en la tiniebla.

Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.

You have put lover and friend far from me, and my friends into darkness.

For our assumption is of the Lord, and it is of our king, the holy one of Israel.

—

Then you spoke in a vision to your holy ones, and you said: I have stationed help with the powerful one, and I have exalted the elect one from my people.

—

—

—

I have found my servant David. I have anointed him with my holy oil.

—

—

—

For my hand will assist him, and my arm will fortify him.

—

—

—

The enemy will have no advantage over him, nor will the son of iniquity be positioned to harm him.

—

—

—

And I will cut down his enemies before his face. And those who hate him, I will turn to flight.

—

—

—

And my truth and my mercy will be with him. And his horn will be exalted in my name.

—

—

—

And I will place his hand on the sea and his right hand on the rivers.

—

—

—

He will invoke me: “You are my father, my God, and the support of my salvation.”

—

—

—

And I will make him the first-born, preeminent before the kings of the earth.

—

—

—

I will preserve my mercy for him eternally, and my covenant for him faithfully.

—

—

—

And I will set his offspring from generation to generation, and his throne like the days of heaven.

—

—

—

But if his sons abandon my law, and if they do not walk in my judgments,

—

—

—

if they profane my justices, and if they do not keep my commandments:

—

—

—

I will visit their iniquities with a rod, and their sins with a beating.

—

—

—

But I will not scatter my mercy from him, and I will not do harm to my truth.

—

—

—

And I will not profane my covenant, and I will not make void that which proceeds from my lips.

—

—

—

I have sworn by my holiness one time: I will not lie to David,

—

—

—

his offspring will remain for eternity. And his throne will be like the sun in my sight,

—

—

—

and, like the moon, it is perfected in eternity, and it is a faithful witness in heaven.

—

—

—

Yet, truly, you have rejected and despised, you have pushed away, my Christ.

—

—

—

You have overthrown the covenant of your servant. You have profaned his sanctuary on earth.

—

—

—

You have destroyed all his fences. You have made his territory dreadful.

—

—

—

All who pass by the way have plundered him. He has become a disgrace to his neighbors.

—

—

—

You have exalted the right hand of those who oppress him. You have brought joy to all his enemies.

—

—

—

You have diverted the help of his sword, and you have not assisted him in battle.

—

—

—

You have torn him away from cleansing, and you have smashed his throne down to the ground.

—

—

—

You have reduced the days of his time. You have flooded him with confusion.

—

—

—

How long, O Lord? Will you turn away unto the end? Will your wrath flare up like a fire?

—

—

—

Remember what my substance is. For could you really have appointed all the sons of men in vain?

—

—

—

Who is the man that will live, and yet not see death? Who will rescue his own soul from the hand of the underworld?

—

—

—

O Lord, where are your mercies of antiquity, just as you swore to David in your truth?

—

—

—

Be mindful, O Lord, of the disgrace of your servants (which I have sustained in my sinews) among many nations.

—

—

—

With these, your enemies have reproached you, O Lord; with these, they have reproached the commutation of your Christ.

—

—

—

Blessed is the Lord for all eternity. Amen. Amen.
