[A Song. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. To the choirmaster: according to Mahalath Leannoth. A Maskil of Heman the Ezrahite.] Help Me O Lord!. Psalm 88(v87)שִׁיר מִזְמֹור לִבְנֵי קֹרַח לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַל־מָחֲלַת לְעַנֹּות מַשְׂכִּיל לְהֵימָן הָאֶזְרָחִי׃
1 O Yahweh, my God, I call for help by day;
I cry out in the night before you.
 יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יְשׁוּעָתִי יֹום־צָעַקְתִּי בַלַּיְלָה נֶגְדֶּךָ׃
2 Let my prayer come before you,
incline your ear to my cry!
 תָּבֹוא לְפָנֶיךָ תְּפִלָּתִי הַטֵּה־אָזְנְךָ לְרִנָּתִי׃
3 For my soul is full of troubles,
and my life draws near to Sheol.
 כִּי־שָׂבְעָה בְרָעֹות נַפְשִׁי וְחַיַּי לִשְׁאֹול הִגִּיעוּ׃
4 I am reckoned among those who go down to the Pit;
I am a man who has no strength,
 נֶחְשַׁבְתִּי עִם־יֹורְדֵי בֹור הָיִיתִי כְּגֶבֶר אֵין־אֱיָל׃
5 like one forsaken among the dead,
like the slain that lie in the grave,
like those whom you remember no more,
for they are cut off from your hand.
 בַּמֵּתִים חָפְשִׁי כְּמֹו חֲלָלִים שֹׁכְבֵי קֶבֶר אֲשֶׁר לֹא זְכַרְתָּם עֹוד וְהֵמָּה מִיָּדְךָ נִגְזָרוּ׃
6 You have put me in the depths of the Pit,
in the regions dark and deep.
 שַׁתַּנִי בְּבֹור תַּחְתִּיֹּות בְּמַחֲשַׁכִּים בִּמְצֹלֹות׃
7 Your wrath lies heavy upon me,
and you overwhelm me with all your waves. [Selah]
 עָלַי סָמְכָה חֲמָתֶךָ וְכָל־מִשְׁבָּרֶיךָ עִנִּיתָ סֶּלָה׃
8 You have caused my companions to shun me;
you have made me a thing of horror to them.
I am shut in so that I cannot escape;
 הִרְחַקְתָּ מְיֻדָּעַי מִמֶּנִּי שַׁתַּנִי תֹועֵבֹות לָמֹו כָּלֻא וְלֹא אֵצֵא׃
9 my eye grows dim through sorrow.
Every day I call upon you, O Yahweh;
I spread out my hands to you.
 עֵינִי דָאֲבָה מִנִּי עֹנִי קְרָאתִיךָ יְהוָה בְּכָל־יֹום שִׁטַּחְתִּי אֵלֶיךָ כַפָּי׃
10 Do you work wonders for the dead?
Do the shades rise up to praise you? [Selah]
 הֲלַמֵּתִים תַּעֲשֶׂה־פֶּלֶא אִם־רְפָאִים יָקוּמוּ יֹודוּךָ סֶּלָה׃
11 Is your steadfast love declared in the grave,
or your faithfulness in Abaddon?
 הַיְסֻפַּר בַּקֶּבֶר חַסְדֶּךָ אֱמוּנָתְךָ בָּאֲבַדֹּון׃
12 Are your wonders known in the darkness,
or your saving help in the land of forgetfulness?
 הֲיִוָּדַע בַּחֹשֶׁךְ פִּלְאֶךָ וְצִדְקָתְךָ בְּאֶרֶץ נְשִׁיָּה׃
13 But I, O Yahweh, cry to you;
in the morning my prayer comes before you.
 וַאֲנִי אֵלֶיךָ יְהוָה שִׁוַּעְתִּי וּבַבֹּקֶר תְּפִלָּתִי תְקַדְּמֶךָּ׃
14 O Yahweh, why do you cast me off?
Why do you hide your face from me?
 לָמָה יְהוָה תִּזְנַח נַפְשִׁי תַּסְתִּיר פָּנֶיךָ מִמֶּנִּי׃
15 Afflicted and close to death
from my youth up, I suffer your terrors;
I am helpless.
 עָנִי אֲנִי וְגֹוֵעַ מִנֹּעַר נָשָׂאתִי אֵמֶיךָ אָפוּנָה׃
16 Your wrath has swept over me;
your dread assaults destroy me.
 עָלַי עָבְרוּ חֲרֹונֶיךָ בִּעוּתֶיךָ צִמְּתוּתֻנִי׃
17 They surround me like a flood all day long;
they close in upon me together.
 סַבּוּנִי כַמַּיִם כָּל־הַיֹּום הִקִּיפוּ עָלַי יָחַד׃
18 You have caused lover and friend to shun me;
my companions are in darkness.
 הִרְחַקְתָּ מִמֶּנִּי אֹהֵב וָרֵעַ מְיֻדָּעַי מַחְשָׁךְ׃

Notes: This webpage enables you to select-a-version from the Bible versions held on the katapi bible database.
The katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have printed 'YHWH' in black. The later vowel sounds I have shown in the colour gray;
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background.
