# ***PSALMS 87-88***

---

*Glorious Things of You Are Spoken*

A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. A Song.

\[1\] On the holy mount stands the city he founded;

\[2\] the LORD loves the gates of Zion

more than all the dwelling places of Jacob.

\[3\] Glorious things of you are spoken,

O city of God. Selah

\[4\] Among those who know me I mention Rahab and Babylon;

behold, Philistia and Tyre, with Cush—

“This one was born there,” they say.

\[5\] And of Zion it shall be said,

“This one and that one were born in her”;

for the Most High himself will establish her.

\[6\] The LORD records as he registers the peoples,

“This one was born there.” Selah

\[7\] Singers and dancers alike say,

“All my springs are in you.”

I Cry Out Day and Night Before You

A Song. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. To the choirmaster: according to Mahalath Leannoth. A Maskil of Heman the Ezrahite.

\[1\] O LORD, God of my salvation,

I cry 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 Sheol.

\[4\] I am counted among those who go down to the pit;

I am a man who has no strength,

\[5\] like one set loose among the dead,

like the slain that lie in the grave,

like those whom you remember no more,

for they are cut off from your hand.

\[6\] You have put me in the depths of the pit,

in the regions dark and deep.

\[7\] Your wrath lies heavy upon me,

and you overwhelm me with all your waves. Selah

\[8\] You have caused my companions to shun me;

you have made me a horror to them.

I am shut in so that I cannot escape;

\[9\] my eye grows dim through sorrow.

Every day I call upon you, O LORD;

I spread out my hands to you.

\[10\] Do you work wonders for the dead?

Do the departed rise up to praise you? Selah

\[11\] Is your steadfast love declared in the grave,

or your faithfulness in Abaddon?

\[12\] Are your wonders known in the darkness,

or your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

\[13\] But I, O LORD, cry to you;

in the morning my prayer comes before you.

\[14\] O LORD, why do you cast my soul away?

Why do you hide your face from me?

\[15\] Afflicted and close to death from my youth up,

I suffer your terrors; I am helpless.

\[16\] Your wrath has swept over me;

your dreadful assaults destroy me.

\[17\] They surround me like a flood all day long;

they close in on me together.

\[18\] You have caused my beloved and my friend to shun me;

my companions have become darkness. (ESV)
