[1] Hear, Yahweh, and answer me, For I am poor and needy. [2] Preserve
my soul, for I am godly. You, my God, save your servant who trusts in
you. [3] Be merciful to me, Lord, For I call to you all day long. [4]
Bring joy to the soul of your servant, For to you, Lord, do I lift up my
soul. [5] For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive; Abundant in
lovingkindness to all those who call on you. [6] Hear, Yahweh, my prayer.
Listen to the voice of my petitions. [7] In the day of my trouble I will
call on you, For you will answer me. [8] There is no one like you among
the gods, Lord, Nor any deeds like your deeds. [9] All nations you have
made will come and worship before you, Lord. They shall glorify your
name. [10] For you are great, and do wondrous things. You are God alone.
[11] Teach me your way, Yahweh. I will walk in your truth. Make my
heart undivided to fear your name. [12] I will praise you, Lord my God,
with my whole heart. I will glorify your name forevermore. [13] For your
lovingkindness is great toward me. You have delivered my soul from the
lowest Sheol. [14] God, the proud have risen up against me. A company of
violent men have sought after my soul, And they don`t hold regard for
you before them. [15] But you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God,
Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness and truth. [16] Turn to me,
and have mercy on me! Give your strength to your servant. Save the
son of your handmaid. [17] Show me a sign of your goodness, That those
who hate me may see it, and be put to shame, Because you, Yahweh, have
helped me, and comforted me. Psalm 87 A Psalm by the sons of
Korah; a Song.
