Psalm 87

1 His foundation is in the holy mountains.

The Glories of the City of GodA Psalm of the Sons of Korah. A Song.

2 The Lord loves the gates of Zion More than all the dwellings of Jacob.3 Glorious things are spoken of you, O city of God! Selah4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to those who know Me; Behold, O Philistia and Tyre, with Ethiopia: This one was born there.5 And of Zion it will be said, This one and that one were born in her; And the Most High Himself shall establish her.6 The Lord will record, When He registers the peoples: This one was born there. Selah7 Both the singers and the players on instruments say, All my springs are in you.

Psalm 88

1 O Lord, God of my salvation,

A Prayer for Help in DespondencyA Song. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. To the Chief Musician. Set to Mahalath Leannoth. a Contemplation of Heman the Ezrahite. I have cried out day and night before You.

2 Let my prayer come before You; Incline Your ear to my cry.3 For my soul is full of troubles, And my life draws near to the grave.4 I am counted with those who go down to the pit; I am like a man who has no strength,5 Adrift among the dead, Like the slain who lie in the grave, Whom You remember no more, And who are cut off from Your hand.6 You have laid me in the lowest pit, In darkness, in the depths.7 Your wrath lies heavy upon me, And You have afflicted me with all Your waves. Selah8 You have put away my acquaintances far from me; You have made me an abomination to them; I am shut up, and I cannot get out;9 My eye wastes away because of affliction. Lord, I have called daily upon You; I have stretched out my hands to You.10 Will You work wonders for the dead? Shall the dead arise and praise You? Selah11 Shall Your lovingkindness be declared in the grave? Or Your faithfulness in the place of destruction?12 Shall Your wonders be known in the dark? And Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?13 But to You I have cried out, O Lord, And in the morning my prayer comes before You.14 Lord, why do You cast off my soul? Why do You hide Your face from me?15 I have been afflicted and ready to die from my youth; I suffer Your terrors; I am distraught.16 Your fierce wrath has gone over me; Your terrors have cut me off.17 They came around me all day long like water; They engulfed me altogether.18 Loved one and friend You have put far from me, And my acquaintances into darkness.

Psalm 89

1 I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever;

Remembering the Covenant with David, and Sorrow for Lost BlessingsA Contemplation of Ethan the Ezrahite. With my mouth will I make known Your faithfulness to all generations.

2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up forever; Your faithfulness You shall establish in the very heavens.3 I have made a covenant with My chosen, I have sworn to My servant David:4 Your seed I will establish forever, And build up your throne to all generations. Selah5 And the heavens will praise Your wonders, O Lord; Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the saints.6 For who in the heavens can be compared to the Lord? Who among the sons of the mighty can be likened to the Lord?7 God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, And to be held in reverence by all those around Him.8 O Lord God of hosts, Who is mighty like You, O Lord? Your faithfulness also surrounds You.9 You rule the raging of the sea; When its waves rise, You still them.10 You have broken Rahab in pieces, as one who is slain; You have scattered Your enemies with Your mighty arm.11 The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours; The world and all its fullness, You have founded them.12 The north and the south, You have created them; Tabor and Hermon rejoice in Your name.13 You have a mighty arm; Strong is Your hand, and high is Your right hand.14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; Mercy and truth go before Your face.15 Blessed are the people who know the joyful sound! They walk, O Lord, in the light of Your countenance.16 In Your name they rejoice all day long, And in Your righteousness they are exalted.17 For You are the glory of their strength, And in Your favor our horn is exalted.18 For our shield belongs to the Lord, And our king to the Holy One of Israel.19 Then You spoke in a vision to Your holy one, And said: I have given help to one who is mighty; I have exalted one chosen from the people.20 I have found My servant David; With My holy oil I have anointed him,21 With whom My hand shall be established; Also My arm shall strengthen him.22 The enemy shall not outwit him, Nor the son of wickedness afflict him.23 I will beat down his foes before his face, And plague those who hate him.24 But My faithfulness and My mercy shall be with him, And in My name his horn shall be exalted.25 Also I will set his hand over the sea, And his right hand over the rivers.26 He shall cry to Me, You are my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation.27 Also I will make him My firstborn, The highest of the kings of the earth.28 My mercy I will keep for him forever, And My covenant shall stand firm with him.29 His seed also I will make to endure forever, And his throne as the days of heaven.30 If his sons forsake My law And do not walk in My judgments,31 If they break My statutes And do not keep My commandments,32 Then I will punish their transgression with the rod, And their iniquity with stripes.33 Nevertheless My lovingkindness I will not utterly take from him, Nor allow My faithfulness to fail.34 My covenant I will not break, Nor alter the word that has gone out of My lips.35 Once I have sworn by My holiness; I will not lie to David:36 His seed shall endure forever, And his throne as the sun before Me;37 It shall be established forever like the moon, Even like the faithful witness in the sky. Selah38 But You have cast off and abhorred, You have been furious with Your anointed.39 You have renounced the covenant of Your servant; You have profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.40 You have broken down all his hedges; You have brought his strongholds to ruin.41 All who pass by the way plunder him; He is a reproach to his neighbors.42 You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries; You have made all his enemies rejoice.43 You have also turned back the edge of his sword, And have not sustained him in the battle.44 You have made his glory cease, And cast his throne down to the ground.45 The days of his youth You have shortened; You have covered him with shame. Selah46 How long, Lord? Will You hide Yourself forever? Will Your wrath burn like fire?47 Remember how short my time is; For what futility have You created all the children of men?48 What man can live and not see death? Can he deliver his life from the power of the grave? Selah49 Lord, where are Your former lovingkindnesses, Which You swore to David in Your truth?50 Remember, Lord, the reproach of Your servants How I bear in my bosom the reproach of all the many peoples,51 With which Your enemies have reproached, O Lord, With which they have reproached the footsteps of Your anointed.52 Blessed be the Lord forevermore! Amen and Amen.
