| 1 | Hear, Yahweh, and answer me, For I am poor and needy. |
| 2 | Preserve my soul, for I am godly. You, my God, save your servant who trusts in you. |
| 3 | Be merciful to me, Lord, For I call to you all day long. |
| 4 | Bring joy to the soul of your servant, For to you, Lord, do I lift up my soul. |
| 5 | For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive; Abundant in lovingkindness to all those who call on you. |
| 6 | Hear, Yahweh, my prayer. Listen to the voice of my petitions. |
| 7 | In the day of my trouble I will call on you, For you will answer me. |
| 8 | There is no one like you among the gods, Lord, Nor any deeds like your deeds. |
| 9 | All nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord. They shall glorify your name. |
| 10 | For you are great, and do wondrous things. You are God alone. |
| 11 | Teach me your way, Yahweh. I will walk in your truth. Make my heart undivided to fear your name. |
| 12 | I will praise you, Lord my God, with my whole heart. I will glorify your name forevermore. |
| 13 | For your lovingkindness is great toward me. You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. |
| 14 | God, the proud have risen up against me. A company of violent men have sought after my soul, And they don't hold regard for you before them. |
| 15 | But you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God, Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness and truth. |
| 16 | Turn to me, and have mercy on me! Give your strength to your servant. Save the son of your handmaid. |
| 17 | Show me a sign of your goodness, That those who hate me may see it, and be put to shame, Because you, Yahweh, have helped me, and comforted me. Psalm 87 A Psalm by the sons of Korah; a Song. |
