Psalm 87
1. HIS
foundation is in the holy mountains.
2. The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of
Jacob.
3. Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.
4. I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold
Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.
5. And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and
the highest himself shall establish her.
6. The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man
was born there. Selah.
7. As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all
my springs are in thee.
Psalm 88
1. O LORD God
of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee:
2. Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry.
3. For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the
grave.
4. I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that
hath no strength.
5. Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom
thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.
6. Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.
7. Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy
waves. Selah.
8. Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me
an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.
9. Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily
upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.
10. Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise
thee? Selah.
11. Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy
faithfulness in destruction?
12. Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the
land of forgetfulness?
13. But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my
prayer prevent thee.
14. LORD, why casteth thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from
me?
15. I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy
terrors I am distracted.
16. Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.
17. They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about
together.
18. Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance
into darkness.
