Chapter 87

1


 

  A canticle of a psalm for the sons of Core: unto the end, for Maheleth, to answer understanding of Eman the Ezrahite.  

 

 

-

2


 

  O Lord, the God of my salvation: I have cried in the day, and in the night before thee.  

 

 

-

3


 

  Let my prayer come in before thee: incline thy ear to my petition.  

 

 

-

4


 

  For my soul is filled with evils: and my life hath drawn nigh to hell.  

 

 

-

5


 

  I am counted among them that go down to the pit: I am become as a man without help,  

 

 

-

6


 

  free among the dead. Like the slain sleeping in the sepulchres, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cast off from thy hand.  

 

 

-

7


 

  They have laid me in the lower pit: in the dark places, and in the shadow of death.  

 

 

-

8


 

  Thy wrath is strong over me: and all thy waves thou hast brought in upon me.  

 

 

-

9


 

  Thou hast put away my acquaintance far from me: they have set me an abomination to themselves. I was delivered up, and came not forth:  

 

 

-

10


 

  my eyes languished through poverty. All the day I cried to thee, O Lord: I stretched out my hands to thee.  

 

 

-

11


 

  Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? or shall physicians raise to life, and give praise to thee?  

 

 

-

12


 

  Shall any one in the sepulchre declare thy mercy: and thy truth in destruction?  

 

 

-

13


 

  Shall thy wonders be known in the dark; and thy justice in the land of forgetfulness?  

 

 

-

14


 

  But I, O Lord, have cried to thee: and in the morning my prayer shall prevent thee.  

 

 

-

15


 

  Lord, why castest thou off my prayer: why turnest thou away thy face from me?  

 

 

-

16


 

  I am poor, and in labours from my youth: and being exalted have been humbled and troubled.  

 

 

-

17


 

  Thy wrath hath come upon me: and thy terrors have troubled me.  

 

 

-

18


 

  They have come round about me like water all the day: they have compassed me about together.  

 

 

-

19


 

  Friend and neighbour thou hast put far from me: and my acquaintance, because of misery.
