·
2 O Lord, the God of my salvation: I have cried in the day, and in the night before thee.
88:1 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.
3 Let my prayer come in before thee: incline thy ear to my petition.
88:2 Entre mi oración en tu presencia: inclina tu oído á mi clamor.
4 For my soul is filled with evils: and my life hath drawn nigh to hell.
88:3 Porque mi alma está harta de males, y mi vida cercana al sepulcro.
5 I am counted among them that go down to the pit: I am become as a man without help,
88:4 Soy contado con los que descienden al hoyo, soy como hombre sin fuerza:
6 Free among the dead. Like the slain sleeping in the sepulchres, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cast off from thy hand.
88:5 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.
7 They have laid me in the lower pit: in the dark places, and in the shadow of death.
88:6 Hasme puesto en el hoyo profundo, en tinieblas, en honduras.
8 Thy wrath is strong over me: and all thy waves thou hast brought in upon me.
88:7 Sobre mí se ha acostado tu ira, y me has afligido con todas tus ondas. (Selah.)
9 Thou hast put away my acquaintance far from me: they have set me an abomination to themselves. I was delivered up, and came not forth:
88:8 Has alejado de mí mis conocidos: hasme puesto por abominación á ellos: encerrado estoy, y no puedo salir.
10 My eyes languished through poverty. All the day I cried to thee, O Lord: I stretched out my hands to thee.
88:9 Mis ojos enfermaron á causa de mi aflicción: hete llamado, oh Jehová, cada día; he extendido á ti mis manos.
11 Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? or shall physicians raise to life, and give praise to thee?
88:10 ¿Harás tú milagro á los muertos? ¿levantaránse los muertos para alabarte? (Selah.)
12 Shall any one in the sepulchre declare thy mercy: and thy truth in destruction?
88:11 ¿Será contada en el sepulcro tu misericordia, ó tu verdad en la perdición?
13 Shall thy wonders be known in the dark; and thy justice in the land of forgetfulness?
88:12 ¿Será conocida en las tinieblas tu maravilla, ni tu justicia en la tierra del olvido?
14 But I, O Lord, have cried to thee: and in the morning my prayer shall prevent thee.
88:13 Mas yo á ti he clamado, oh Jehová; y de mañana mi oración te previno.
15 Lord, why castest thou off my prayer: why turnest thou away thy face from me?
88:14 ¿Por qué, oh Jehová, desechas mi alma? ¿por qué escondes de mí tu rostro?
16 I am poor, and in labours from my youth: and being exalted have been humbled and troubled.
88:15 Yo soy afligido y menesteroso: desde la mocedad he llevado tus terrores, he estado medroso.
17 Thy wrath hath come upon me: and thy terrors have troubled me.
88:16 Sobre mí han pasado tus iras; tus espantos me han cortado.
18 They have come round about me like water all the day: they have compassed me about together.
88:17 Hanme rodeado como aguas de continuo; hanme cercado á una.
19 Friend and neighbour thou hast put far from me: and my acquaintance, because of misery.
88:18 Has alejado de mí el amigo y el compañero; y mis conocidos [se esconden] en la tiniebla.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations). Verse numbers below follow the Hebrew/English numbering: 88.
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
The Psalm which has just been sung is short, if we look to the number of its words, but of deep interest in its thoughts....The subject of song and praise in that Psalm is a city, whose citizens are we, as far as we are Christians: whence we are absent, as long as we are mortal: whither we are tending: …
