Psalms 88:3 Cross References - Rotherham

³ For my soul, is sated with misfortunes, And, my life––unto Hades, hath drawn near;

² Oh that, weighed, were my vexation, and, my engulfing ruin––into the balances, they would lift up all at once! ³ For, now, beyond the sand of the seas, would it be heavy, On this account, my words, have wandered. ⁴ For, the arrows of the Almighty, are in me, The heat whereof, my spirit is drinking up, The, terrors of GOD, array themselves against me.

²² So doth his soul draw near to the pit, and his life to the inflicters of death:

¹¹ Be not far from me, for, distress, is near, For there is none to help. ¹² Many bulls have surrounded me, Strong oxen of Bashan, have enclosed me; ¹³ They have opened wide against me their mouth, A lion rending and roaring. ¹⁴ Like water, am I poured out, and, put out of joint, are all my bones,––My heart, hath become, like wax, it is melted in the midst of my body; ¹⁵ Dried as a potsherd, is my strength, And, my tongue, is made to cleave to my gums, And, in the dust of death, wilt thou lay me. ¹⁶ For dogs have surrounded me,––An assembly of evil doers, have encircled me, They have pierced my hands and my feet, ¹⁷ I may tell all my bones, They, look for––they behold me! ¹⁸ They part my garments among them, and, for my vestment, they cast lots. ¹⁹ But, thou, O Yahweh, be not far off, O my help! to aid me, make haste; ²⁰ Rescue, from the sword, my life, from the power of the dog, my solitary self: ²¹ Save me from the mouth of the lion,––Yea, from the horns of wild beasts, hast thou delivered me.

¹⁷ Then do not hide thy face from thy servant, Because I am in distress, haste thou––answer me! ¹⁸ Oh draw near unto my soul––redeem it, Because of mine enemies, ransom me. ¹⁹ Thou, knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my confusion, Before thee, are all mine adversaries. ²⁰ Reproach hath broken my heart, and I am weak,––Though I waited for one to pity me, yet there was none, And for comforters, yet I found not any. ²¹ But they put in my food––poison! And, for my thirst, they gave for my drink––vinegar!

² In the day of my distress––unto My Lord, will I seek, My hand, by night, hath been outstretched and never once became slack, My soul, hath refused to be consoled;

¹⁴ Wherefore, O Yahweh, shouldst thou reject my soul? shouldst thou hide thy face from me? ¹⁵ Afflicted have I been, and dying, from youth, I have borne the terror of thee––I shall be distracted!

¹⁸ All manner of food, their soul abhorreth, and so they draw near unto the gates of death,

²⁶ They mount the heavens, they descend the roaring deeps, their soul, by trouble, dissolveth;

³ For an enemy hath pursued my soul, hath crushed, to the earth, my life, hath made me dwell in dark places, like the ancient dead. ⁴ Therefore hath my spirit, fainted concerning myself, Within me, hath, my heart, been confounded.

³ Despised was he, and forsaken of men, Man of pains, and familiar with sickness,––Yea, like one from whom the face is hidden, Despised, and we esteemed him not.

¹⁰ Yet, Yahweh, purposed to bruise him, He laid on him sickness:––If his soul become an offering for guilt, He shall see a seed, He shall prolong his days,––And, the purpose of Yahweh, in his hand, shall prosper: ¹¹ Of the travail of his soul, shall he see, He shall be satisfied with his knowledge, A setting right, when set right himself, shall my Servant win for the Many, Since, of their iniquities, he, taketh the burden.

¹⁵ He hath sated me with bitter things, hath drenched me with wormwood. ¹⁶ And he hath crushed, with gravel–stones, my teeth, hath made me cower in ashes; ¹⁷ And thou hast thrust away from welfare, my soul, I have forgotten prosperity; ¹⁸ And I said, Vanished is mine endurance, even mine expectation, from Yahweh. ¹⁹ Remember my humiliation and my fleeings, the wormwood and poison;

³⁷ And, taking with him, Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be grieved and to be in great distress. ³⁸ Then, saith he unto them: Encompassed with grief, is my soul, unto death: Abide ye here, and be watching with me. ³⁹ And, going forward a little, he fell upon his face, offering prayer, and saying––My Father! If it is possible, let this cup pass from me,––Nevertheless, not as, I, will, but as, thou, wilt.

³³ And he taketh Peter and James and John with him, and began to be exceedingly amazed, and in great distress; ³⁴ and he saith unto them––Encompassed with grief is my soul, unto death: Abide ye here, and be watching.
