Psalm 87

Psalm

A prayer of David.

 A Prayer of David. Incline your ear and listen, Yahweh, and answer me,

for I am poor and needy.

2 Protect me, for I am faithful;

my God, save your servant who trusts in you.

3 Be merciful to me, Lord,

for I cry out to you all day long.

4 Make your servant glad,

for to you, Lord, I lift up my soul.

5 You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive,

and you show great mercy to all those who cry out to you.

6 Yahweh, listen to my prayer;

hear the sound of my pleas.

7 In the day of my trouble I call on you,

for you will answer me.

8 There is no one who compares to you among the gods, Lord.

There are no deeds like your deeds.

9 All the nations that you have made will come and bow before you, Lord.

They will honor your name.

10 For you are great and do wonderful things;

you only are God.

11 Teach me your ways, Yahweh. Then I will walk in your truth.

Unite my heart to reverence you.

12 Lord my God, I will praise you with my whole heart;

I will glorify your name forever.

13 For great is your covenant faithfulness toward me;

you have rescued my life from the depths of Sheol.

14 God, the arrogant have risen up against me.

A gang of violent men seek my life.

They have no regard for you.

15 But you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God,

slow to anger, and abundant in covenant faithfulness and trustworthiness.

16 Turn toward me and have mercy on me;

give your strength to your servant;

save the son of your servant woman.

17 Show me a sign of your favor.

Then those who hate me will see it and be put to shame

because you, Yahweh, have helped me and comforted me.

Psalm

A psalm of the sons of Korah; a song.

 A Psalm of the sons of Korah A Song On the holy mount stands the city he founded;

2 Yahweh loves the gates of Zion

more than all the tents of Jacob.

3 Glorious things are said of you, city of God. Selah

4 “I mention Rahab and Babylon to my followers.

See, there are Philistia, and Tyre, along with Cush—

and will say, ‘This one was born there.’ ”

5 Of Zion it will be said, “Each of these was born in her;

and the Most High himself will establish her.”

6 Yahweh writes in the census book of the nations,

“This one was born there.” Selah

7 So also the singers and the dancers say together,

“All my fountains are in you.”
