His foundation

The LORD
<03068>

loveth
<0157> (8802)

the gates
<08179>

of Zion
<06726>

more than all the dwellings

Glorious things
<03513> (8737)

are spoken

<02142> (8686)

of Rahab

<0894>

to them that know
<03045> (8802)

me: behold Philistia
<06429>_,

this [man] was born
<03205> (8795)

there.

And of Zion
<06726>

it shall be said
<0559> (8735)_,

in her: and the highest
<05945>

himself shall establish
<03559> (8787)

her.

87:6

The LORD
<03068>

shall count
<05608> (8799)_,

the people
<05971>_,

[that] this [man] was born
<03205> (8795)

there. Selah
<05542>_.

87:7

As well the singers
<07891> (8802)

as the players

on instruments [shall be there]: all my springs
<04599>

[are] in thee.

<
<A Song <07892>

[or] Psalm
<04210>

<07141>_,

<04905> (8688)

O LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of my salvation
<03444>_,

I have cried
<06817> (8804)

day
<03117>

[and] night
<03915>

before thee: {for the sons: or, of the sons} {Maschil...: or, A Psalm of Heman the Ezrahite, giving instruction}

88:2

Let my prayer
<08605>

come
<0935> (8799)

before
<06440>

thee: incline
<05186> (8685)

thine ear
<0241>

unto my cry
<07440>_;

88:3

For my soul
<05315>

is full
<07646> (8804)

of troubles
<07451>_:

and my life
<02416>

draweth nigh
<05060> (8689)

unto the grave
<07585>_.

88:4

I am counted
<02803> (8738)

with them that go down
<03381> (8802)

into the pit
<0953>_:

I am as a man
<01397>

[that hath] no strength
<0353>_:

88:5

Free
<02670>

among the dead
<04191> (8801)_,

like the slain
<02491>

that lie
<07901> (8802)

in the grave
<06913>_,

whom thou rememberest
<02142> (8804)

no more: and they are cut off
<01504> (8738)

from thy hand
<03027>_.

{from: or, by}

88:6

Thou hast laid
<07896> (8804)

me in the lowest
<08482>

pit
<0953>_,

in darkness
<04285>_,

in the deeps
<04688>_.

88:7

Thy wrath
<02534>

lieth hard
<05564> (8804)

upon me, and thou hast afflicted
<06031> (8765)

[me] with all thy waves
<04867>_.

Selah
<05542>_.

88:8

Thou hast put away
<07368> (0)

mine acquaintance
<03045> (8794)

far
<07368> (8689)

from me; thou hast made
<07896> (8804)

me an abomination
<08441>

unto them: [I am] shut up
<03607> (8803)_,

and I cannot come forth
<03318> (8799)_.

88:9

Mine eye
<05869>

mourneth
<01669> (8804)

by reason of affliction
<06040>_:

LORD
<03068>_,

I have called
<07121> (8804)

daily
<03117>

upon thee, I have stretched out
<07849> (8765)

my hands
<03709>

unto thee.

88:10

Wilt thou shew
<06213> (8799)

wonders
<06382>

to the dead
<04191> (8801)_?

shall the dead
<07496>

arise
<06965> (8799)

[and] praise
<03034> (8686)

thee? Selah
<05542>_.

88:11

Shall thy lovingkindness
<02617>

be declared
<05608> (8792)

in the grave
<06913>_?

[or] thy faithfulness
<0530>

in destruction
<011>_?

88:12

Shall thy wonders
<06382>

be known
<03045> (8735)

in the dark
<02822>_?

and thy righteousness
<06666>

in the land
<0776>

of forgetfulness
<05388>_?

88:13

But unto thee have I cried
<07768> (8765)_,

O LORD
<03068>_;

and in the morning
<01242>

shall my prayer
<08605>

prevent
<06923> (8762)

thee.

88:14

LORD
<03068>_,

why castest thou off
<02186> (8799)

my soul
<05315>_?

[why] hidest
<05641> (8686)

thou thy face
<06440>

from me?

88:15

I [am] afflicted
<06041>

and ready to die
<01478> (8802)

from [my] youth
<05290>

up: [while] I suffer
<05375> (8804)

thy terrors
<0367>

I am distracted
<06323> (8799)_.

88:16

Thy fierce wrath
<02740>

goeth over
<05674> (8804)

me; thy terrors
<01161>

have cut me off
<06789> (8768)_.

88:17

They came round about
<05437> (8804)

me daily
<03117>

like water
<04325>_;

they compassed
<05362> (8689)

me about together
<03162>_.

{daily: or, all the day}

88:18

Lover
<0157> (8802)

and friend
<07453>

hast thou put far
<07368> (8689)

from me, [and] mine acquaintance
<03045> (8794)

into darkness
<04285>_.
