Salmos 88
Douay-Rheims Bible
1Of understanding, for Ethan the Ezrahite.
2The mercies of the Lord I will sing for ever. I will shew forth thy truth with my mouth to generation and generation.
3For thou hast said: Mercy shall be built up for ever in the heavens: thy truth shall be prepared in them.
4I have made a covenant with my elect: I have sworn to David my servant:
5Thy seed will I settle for ever. And I will build up thy throne unto generation and generation.
6The heavens shall confess thy wonders, O Lord: and thy truth in the church of the saints.
7For who in the clouds can be compared to the Lord: or who among the sons of God shall be like to God?
8God, who is glorified in the assembly of the saints: great and terrible above all them that are about him.
9O Lord God of hosts, who is like to thee? thou art mighty, O Lord, and thy truth is round about thee.
10Thou rulest the power of the sea: and appeasest the motion of the waves thereof.
11Thou hast humbled the proud one, as one that is slain: with the arm of thy strength thou hast scattered thy enemies.
12Thine are the heavens, and thine is the earth: the world and the fulness thereof thou hast founded:
13The north and the sea thou hast created. Thabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name:
14Thy arm is with might. Let thy hand be strengthened, and thy right hand exalted:
15Justice and judgment are the preparation of thy throne. Mercy and truth shall go before thy face:
16Blessed is the people that knoweth jubilation. They shall walk, O Lord, in the light of thy countenance:
17And in thy name they shall rejoice all the day, and in thy justice they shall be exalted.
18For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy good pleasure shall our horn be exalted.
19For our protection is of the Lord, and of our king the holy one of Israel.
20Then 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.
21I have found David my servant: with my holy oil I have anointed him.
22For my hand shall help him: and my arm shall strengthen him.
23The enemy shall have no advantage over him: nor the son of iniquity have power to hurt him.
24And I will cut down his enemies before his face; and them that hate him I will put to flight.
25And my truth and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.
26And I will set his hand in the sea; and his right hand in the rivers.
27He shall cry out to me: Thou art my father: my God, and the support of my salvation.
28And I will make him my firstborn, high above the kings of the earth.
29I will keep my mercy for him for ever: and my covenant faithful to him.
30And I will make his seed to endure for evermore: and his throne as the days of heaven.
31And if his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments:
32If they profane my justices: and keep not my commandments:
33I will visit their iniquities with a rod: and their sins with stripes.
34But my mercy I will not take away from him: nor will I suffer my truth to fail.
35Neither will I profane my covenant: and the words that proceed from my mouth I will not make void.
36Once have I sworn by my holiness: I will not lie unto David:
37His seed shall endure for ever.
38And his throne as the sun before me: and as the moon perfect for ever, and a faithful witness in heaven.
39But thou hast rejected and despised: thou hast been angry with thy anointed.
40Thou hast overthrown the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his sanctuary on the earth.
41Thou hast broken down all his hedges: thou hast made his strength fear.
42All that pass by the way have robbed him: he is become a reproach to his neighbours.
43Thou hast set up the right hand of them that oppress him: thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.
44Thou hast turned away the help of his sword; and hast not assisted him in battle.
45Thou hast made his purification to cease: and thou hast cast his throne down to the ground.
46Thou hast shortened the days of his time: thou hast covered him with confusion.
47How long, O Lord, turnest thou away unto the end? shall thy anger burn like fire?
48Remember what my substance is for hast thou made all the children of men in vain?
49Who is the man that shall live, and not see death: that shall deliver his soul from the hand of hell?
50Lord, where are thy ancient mercies, according to what thou didst swear to David in thy truth?
51Be mindful, O Lord, of the reproach of thy servants (which I have held in my bosom) of many nations:
52Wherewith thy enemies have reproached, O Lord; wherewith they have reproached the change of thy anointed.
53Blessed be the Lord for evermore. So be it. So be it.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Canción: 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.
2Entre mi oración en tu presencia: inclina tu oído á mi clamor.
3Porque mi alma está harta de males, y mi vida cercana al sepulcro.
4Soy contado con los que descienden al hoyo, soy como hombre sin fuerza:
5Libre 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.
6Hasme puesto en el hoyo profundo, en tinieblas, en honduras.
7Sobre mí se ha acostado tu ira, y me has afligido con todas tus ondas. (Selah.)
8Has alejado de mí mis conocidos: hasme puesto por abominación á ellos: encerrado estoy, y no puedo salir.
9Mis ojos enfermaron á causa de mi aflicción: hete llamado, oh Jehová, cada día; he extendido á ti mis manos.
10¿Harás tú milagro á los muertos? ¿levantaránse los muertos para alabarte? (Selah.)
11¿Será contada en el sepulcro tu misericordia, ó tu verdad en la perdición?
12¿Será conocida en las tinieblas tu maravilla, ni tu justicia en la tierra del olvido?
13Mas yo á ti he clamado, oh Jehová; y de mañana mi oración te previno.
14¿Por qué, oh Jehová, desechas mi alma? ¿por qué escondes de mí tu rostro?
15Yo soy afligido y menesteroso: desde la mocedad he llevado tus terrores, he estado medroso.
16Sobre mí han pasado tus iras; tus espantos me han cortado.
17Hanme rodeado como aguas de continuo; hanme cercado á una.
18Has alejado de mí el amigo y el compañero; y mis conocidos se esconden en la tiniebla.

King James Version
1O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee:
2Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;
3For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.
4I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:
5Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.
6Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.
7Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah.
8Thou 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.
9Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.
10Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah.
11Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction?
12Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
13But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.
14LORD, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me?
15I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.
16Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.
17They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.
18Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.

World English Bible
1LORD, the God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before you.
2Let my prayer enter into your presence. Turn your ear to my cry.
3For my soul is full of troubles. My life draws near to Sheol.
4I am counted among those who go down into the pit. I am like a man who has no help,
5set apart among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom you remember no more. They are cut off from your hand.
6You have laid me in the lowest pit, in the darkest depths.
7Your wrath lies heavily on me. You have afflicted me with all your waves. Selah.
8You have taken my friends from me. You have made me an abomination to them. I am confined, and I can’t escape.
9My eyes are dim from grief. I have called on you daily, LORD. I have spread out my hands to you.
10Do you show wonders to the dead? Do the departed spirits rise up and praise you? Selah.
11Is your loving kindness declared in the grave? Or your faithfulness in Destruction?
12Are your wonders made known in the dark? Or your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
13But to you, LORD, I have cried. In the morning, my prayer comes before you.
14LORD, why do you reject my soul? Why do you hide your face from me?
15I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up. While I suffer your terrors, I am distracted.
16Your fierce wrath has gone over me. Your terrors have cut me off.
17They came around me like water all day long. They completely engulfed me.
18You have put lover and friend far from me, and my friends into darkness.
