BrLXX Ὅτι εἶπας, εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἔλεος οἰκοδομηθήσεται, ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς ἑτοιμασθήσεται ἡ ἀλήθειά σου·
(Hoti eipas, eis ton aiōna eleos oikodomaʸthaʸsetai, en tois ouranois hetoimasthaʸsetai haʸ alaʸtheia sou; )
Ps 88 In this lament, the psalmist sees himself as cast out from God’s presence. At first, he calls on the Lord. When he finds no relief from his suffering, he presents three charges against God (88:6-7, 8-12, 13-17).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
For I am filled with troubles
(Some words not found in UHB: come to=your=face prayer,my incline ear,your to,cry,my )
The writer speaks of himself as if he were a container and troubles are the contents that fill the container. Alternate translation: “For I am very troubled”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
my life has reached Sheol
(Some words not found in UHB: come to=your=face prayer,my incline ear,your to,cry,my )
Here “life” represents the writer. And “Sheol” represents death. The writer speaks about himself possibly dying soon as if Sheol were a place and he has arrived at that place. Alternate translation: “I am about to die” (See also: figs-metaphor)
