1. |
Bow down thine ear, O Jehovah, and answer me; For I am poor and needy. |
2. |
Preserve my soul; for I am godly: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee. |
3. |
Be merciful unto me, O Lord; For unto thee do I cry all the day long. |
4. |
Rejoice the soul of thy servant; For unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. |
5. |
For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, And abundant in lovingkindness unto all them that call upon thee. |
6. |
Give ear, O Jehovah, unto my prayer; And hearken unto the voice of my supplications. |
7. |
In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee; For thou wilt answer me. |
8. |
There is none like unto thee among the gods, O Lord; Neither `are there any works' like unto thy works. |
9. |
All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; And they shall glorify thy name. |
10. |
For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: Thou art God alone. |
11. |
Teach me thy way, O Jehovah; I will walk in thy truth: Unite my heart to fear thy name. |
12. |
I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart; And I will glorify thy name for evermore. |
13. |
For great is thy lovingkindness toward me; And thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. |
14. |
O God, the proud are risen up against me, And a company of violent men have sought after my soul, And have not set thee before them. |
15. |
But thou, O Lord, art a God merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness and truth. |
16. |
Oh turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; Give thy strength unto thy servant, And save the son of thy handmaid. |
17. |
Show me a token for good, That they who hate me may see it, and be put to shame, Because thou, Jehovah, hast helped me, and comforted me. Psalm 87 A Psalm of the sons of Korah; a Song. |
