1(88-1) A Song, a Psalm of the sons of Korah; for the Leader; upon Mahalath Leannoth. Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite. (88-2) O LORD, God of my salvation, what time I cry in the night before Thee,
1Ka pahlonghaih Angraeng Sithaw, nang khaeah aqum athun kang hangh.
2(88-3) Let my prayer come before Thee, incline Thine ear unto my cry.
2Lawk ka thuihaih nang khaeah pha nasoe; ka hanghaih lok na tahngai pae ah.
3(88-4) For my soul is sated with troubles, and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.
3Ka hinghaih mah raihaih tong boeh moe, ka hinghaih taprong taengah phak boeh.
4(88-5) I am counted with them that go down into the pit; I am become as a man that hath no help;
4Kai loe tangqom thungah caeh kaminawk hoi nawnto ang kroek o hmaek boeh; tha tawn ai kami baktiah ni ka oh sut boeh.
5(88-6) Set apart among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom Thou rememberest no more; and they are cut off from Thy hand.
5Kadueh kaminawk salakah vah sut ih kami, kami hum moe, taprong ah pasong o ih baktiah, na ban thung hoiah na takhoe ving moe, anih to na panoek ai boeh.
6(88-7) Thou hast laid me in the nethermost pit, in dark places, in the deeps.
6Kathuk koek tangqom, kaving moe, kathuk parai tangqom thungah nang pasong.
7(88-8) Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and all Thy waves Thou pressest down. Selah
7Palung na phuihaih mah kai ang taeh; kai hae na tuiphunawk boih hoiah nang pacaekthlaek. Selah .
8(88-9) Thou hast put mine acquaintance far from me; Thou hast made me an abomination unto them; I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.
8Kam puinawk to nang lak pae ving; kai hae nihcae mah panuet hanah nang sak; kai nang paung caeng pongah, tasa bangah ka tacawt thai ai boeh.
9(88-10) Mine eye languisheth by reason of affliction; I have called upon Thee, O LORD, every day, I have spread forth my hands unto Thee.
9Raihaih mah ka mik amrosak boeh; Angraeng, ni thokkruek nang kang kawk; nang khaeah ka ban kang payangh.
10(88-11) Wilt Thou work wonders for the dead? Or shall the shades arise and give Thee thanks? Selah
10Kadueh kaminawk hanah dawnrai hmuen na sak pae han maw? Kadueh kaminawk angthawk o ueloe, nang to saphaw o tih maw? Selah .
11(88-12) Shall Thy mercy be declared in the grave? or Thy faithfulness in destruction?
11Nam lunghaih to taprong thungah thui o tih maw, to tih ai boeh loe na oepthohhaih to amrohaih thungah thui o tih maw?
12(88-13) Shall Thy wonders be known in the dark? and Thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
12Na sak ih dawnrai hmuennawk to khoving thungah panoek o tih maw? Na toenghaih doeh pahnet thaih prae ah panoek o tih maw?
13(88-14) But as for me, unto Thee, O LORD, do I cry, and in the morning doth my prayer come to meet Thee.
13Toe Aw Angraeng, kai loe nang khaeah ka qah; akhawn bangah lawkthuihaih loe na hmaa ah phak boeh.
14(88-15) LORD, why castest Thou off my soul? Why hidest Thou Thy face from me?
14Angraeng, tipongah ka pakhra nang vah pae ving loe? Tipongah mikhmai nang hawk taak ving loe?
15(88-16) I am afflicted and at the point of death from my youth up; I have borne Thy terrors, I am distracted.
15Kai loe nawkta nathuem hoi patang ka khang boeh moe, ka duek duih boeh; raihaih nang tongsak pongah kang pho sut boeh.
16(88-17) Thy fierce wrath is gone over me; Thy terrors have cut me off.
16Palung na phuihaih mah kai ang kraeng khoep boeh; nang tongsak ih raihaih mah ang paro boeh.
17(88-18) They came round about me like water all the day; they compassed me about together.
17To hmuennawk loe tuibaktiah ka taengah ni thokkruek angzoh o; kai hae nawnto ang takui o.
18(88-19) Friend and companion hast Thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.
18Palung ih kami hoi ampuinawk to kai khae hoi kangthla ah nang suek pae, kam puinawk loe vinghaih thungah oh o.
