1(87) A Psalm of a Song for the sons of Core. His foundations are in the holy mountains.
1A Prayer by David. Hear, Yahweh, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.
2The Lord loves the gates of Sion, more than all the tabernacles of Jacob.
2Preserve my soul, for I am godly. You, my God, save your servant who trusts in you.
3Glorious things have been spoken of you, O city of God. Pause.
3Be merciful to me, Lord, for I call to you all day long.
4I will make mention of Raab and Babylon to them that know me: behold also the Philistines, and Tyre, and the people of the Ethiopians: these were born there.
4Bring joy to the soul of your servant, for to you, Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5A man shall say, Sion [is my] mother; and [such] a man was born in her; and the Highest himself has founded her.
5For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, abundant in loving kindness to all those who call on you.
6The Lord shall recount [it] in the writing of the people, and of these princes that were born in her.
6Hear, Yahweh, my prayer. Listen to the voice of my petitions.
7The dwelling of all within you is [as the dwelling] of those that rejoice.
7In the day of my trouble I will call on you, for you will answer me.
