1(88) A song of a Psalm for the sons of Core for the end, upon Maeleth for responsive [strains], of instruction for Aeman the Israelite. O Lord God of my salvation, I have cried by day and in the night before you.
1A Psalm by the sons of Korah; a Song. His foundation is in the holy mountains.
2Let my prayer come in before you; incline your ear to my supplication, O Lord.
2Yahweh loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
3For my soul is filled with troubles, and my life has drawn near to Hades.
3Glorious things are spoken about you, city of God. Selah.
4I have been reckoned with them that go down to the pit; I became as a man without help;
4I will record Rahab and Babylon among those who acknowledge me. Behold, Philistia, Tyre, and also Ethiopia: “This one was born there.”
5free among the dead, as the slain ones cast out, who sleep in the tomb; whom you remember no more; and they are rejected from your hand.
5Yes, of Zion it will be said, “This one and that one was born in her;” the Most High himself will establish her.
6They laid me in the lowest pit, in dark [places], and in the shadow of death.
6Yahweh will count, when he writes up the peoples, “This one was born there.” Selah.
7Your wrath has pressed heavily upon me, and you have brought upon me all your billows. Pause.
7Those who sing as well as those who dance say, “All my springs are in you.”
