²Keep my soul, for I am godly;

O Thou my God, save Thy servant that trusteth in Thee.

³Be gracious unto me, O Lord;

For unto Thee do I cry all the day.

⁴Rejoice the soul of Thy servant;

For unto Thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

⁵For Thou, Lord, art good, and ready to pardon,

And plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon Thee.

 

⁶Give ear, O Lord, unto my prayer;

And attend unto the voice of my supplications.

⁷In the day of my trouble I call upon Thee;

For Thou wilt answer me.

⁸There is none like unto Thee among the gods, O Lord,

And there are no works like Thine.

⁹All nations whom Thou hast made shall come and prostrate themselves before Thee, O Lord;

And they shall glorify Thy name.

¹⁰For Thou art great, and doest wondrous things;

Thou art God alone.

 

¹¹Teach me, O Lord, Thy way, that I may walk in Thy truth;

Make one my heart to fear Thy name.

¹²I will thank Thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart;

And I will glorify Thy name for evermore.

¹³For great is Thy mercy toward me;

And Thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest nether-world.

 

¹⁴O God, the proud are risen up against me,

And the company of violent men have sought after my soul,

And have not set Thee before them.

¹⁵But Thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion and gracious,

Slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy and truth.

¹⁶O turn unto me, and be gracious unto me;

Give Thy strength unto Thy servant,

And save the son of Thy handmaid.

¹⁷Work in my behalf a sign for good;

That they that hate me may see it, and be put to shame,

Because Thou, Lord, hast helped me, and comforted me.

87 A Psalm of the sons of Korah; a Song.

His foundation is in the holy mountains.

²The Lord loveth the gates of Zion

More than all the dwellings of Jacob.

³Glorious things are spoken of Thee,

O city of God. Selah

⁴'I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon as among them that know Me;

Behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia;

This one was born there.'

⁵But of Zion it shall be said: 'This man and that was born in her;

And the Most High Himself doth establish her.'

⁶The Lord shall count in the register of the peoples:

'This one was born there.' Selah

⁷And whether they sing or dance,

All my thoughts are in Thee.

88 A Song, a Psalm of the sons of Korah; for the Leader; upon Mahalath Leannoth. Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite.

²O Lord, God of my salvation,

What time I cry in the night before Thee,
