Salmos 88

Of understanding, for 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.

The mercies of the Lord I will sing for ever. I will shew forth thy truth with my mouth to generation and 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 thou hast said: Mercy shall be built up for ever in the heavens: thy truth shall be prepared in them.

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 made 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,

Thy seed will I settle for ever. And I will build up thy throne unto generation and 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 shall confess thy wonders, O Lord: and thy 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 in the clouds can be compared to the Lord: or who among the sons of God shall be like to 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, who is glorified in the assembly of the saints: great and terrible above all them that are about 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 to thee? thou art mighty, O Lord, and thy truth is round about thee.

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.

Thou rulest the power of the sea: and appeasest the motion of the waves thereof.

¿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.

Thou hast humbled the proud one, as one that is slain: with the arm of thy strength thou hast scattered thy enemies.

¿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?

Thine are the heavens, and thine is the earth: the world and the fulness thereof thou hast founded:

¿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?

The north and the sea thou hast created. Thabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy 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.

Thy arm is with might. Let thy hand be strengthened, and thy right hand 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 thy throne. Mercy and truth shall go before thy 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 knoweth jubilation. They shall walk, O Lord, in the light of thy countenance:

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 in thy name they shall rejoice all the day, and in thy justice they shall be exalted.

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 thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy good pleasure shall our horn 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 protection is of the Lord, and of our king the holy one of Israel.

Then thou spokest in a vision to thy saints, and saidst: I have laid help upon one that is mighty, and have exalted one chosen out of my people.

—

—

—

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

—

—

—

For my hand shall help him: and my arm shall strengthen him.

—

—

—

The enemy shall have no advantage over him: nor the son of iniquity have power to hurt him.

—

—

—

And I will cut down his enemies before his face; and them that hate him I will put to flight.

—

—

—

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

—

—

—

And I will set his hand in the sea; and his right hand in the rivers.

—

—

—

He shall cry out to me: Thou art my father: my God, and the support of my salvation.

—

—

—

And I will make him my firstborn, high above the kings of the earth.

—

—

—

I will keep my mercy for him for ever: and my covenant faithful to him.

—

—

—

And I will make his seed to endure for evermore: and his throne as the days of heaven.

—

—

—

And if his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments:

—

—

—

If they profane my justices: and keep not my commandments:

—

—

—

I will visit their iniquities with a rod and their sins with stripes.

—

—

—

But my mercy I will not take away from him: nor will I suffer my truth to fail.

—

—

—

Neither will I profane my covenant: and the words that proceed from my mouth I will not make void.

—

—

—

Once have I sworn by my holiness: I will not lie unto David:

—

—

—

His seed shall endure for ever.

—

—

—

And his throne as the sun before me: and as the moon perfect for ever, and a faithful witness in heaven.

—

—

—

But thou hast rejected and despised: thou hast been angry with my anointed.

—

—

—

Thou hast overthrown the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his sanctuary on the earth.

—

—

—

Thou hast broken down all his hedges: thou hast made his strength fear.

—

—

—

All that pass by the way have robbed him: he is become a reproach to his neighbours.

—

—

—

Thou hast set up the right hand of them that oppress him: thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.

—

—

—

Thou hast turned away the help of his sword; and hast not assisted him in battle.

—

—

—

Thou hast made his purification to cease: and thou hast cast his throne down to the ground.

—

—

—

Thou hast shortened the days of his time: thou hast covered him with confusion.

—

—

—

How long, O Lord, turnest thou away unto the end? shall thy anger burn like fire?

—

—

—

Remember what my substance is: for hast thou made all the children of men in vain?

—

—

—

Who is the man that shall live, and not see death: that shall deliver his soul from the hand of hell?

—

—

—

Lord, where are thy ancient mercies, according to what thou didst swear to David in thy truth?

—

—

—

Be mindful, O Lord, of the reproach of thy servants (which I have held in my bosom) of many nations:

—

—

—

Wherewith thy enemies have reproached, O Lord; wherewith they have reproached the change of thy anointed.

—

—

—

Blessed be the Lord for evermore. So be it. So be it.
