87 Canticum Psalmi, filiis Core, in finem, pro Maheleth ad respondendum. Intellectus Eman Ezrahitae.

Domine, Deus salutis meae, in die clamavi et nocte coram te.

Intret in conspectu tuo oratio mea, inclina aurem tuam ad precem meam.

Quia repleta est malis anima mea, et vita mea inferno appropinquavit.

AEstimatus sum cum descendentibus in lacum, factus sum sicut homo sine adjutorio,

inter mortuos liber; sicut vulnerati dormientes in sepulchris, quorum non es memor amplius, et ipsi de manu tua repulsi sunt.

Posuerunt me in lacu inferiori, in tenebrosis, et in umbra mortis.

Super me confirmatus est furor tuus, et omnes fluctus tuos induxisti super me.

Longe fecisti notos meos a me; posuerunt me abominationem sibi. Traditus sum, et non egrediebar;

10 oculi mei languerunt prae inopia. Clamavi ad te, Domine, tota die; expandi ad te manus meas.

11 Numquid mortuis facies mirabilia? aut medici suscitabunt, et confitebuntur tibi?

12 Numquid narrabit aliquis in sepulchro misericordiam tuam, et veritatem tuam in perditione?

13 Numquid cognoscentur in tenebris mirabilia tua? et justitia tua in terra oblivionis?

14 Et ego ad te, Domine, clamavi, et mane oratio mea praeveniet te.

15 Ut quid, Domine, repellis orationem meam; avertis faciem tuam a me?

16 Pauper sum ego, et in laboribus a juventute mea; exaltatus autem, humiliatus sum et conturbatus.

17 In me transierunt irae tuae, et terrores tui conturbaverunt me:

18 circumdederunt me sicut aqua tota die; circumdederunt me simul.

19 Elongasti a me amicum et proximum, et notos meos a miseria.

Psalm 87

Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm. A song.

He has founded his city on the holy mountain.(A)
The Lord loves the gates of Zion(B)
    more than all the other dwellings of Jacob.

Glorious things are said of you,
    city of God:[a](C)
“I will record Rahab[b](D) and Babylon
    among those who acknowledge me—
Philistia(E) too, and Tyre(F), along with Cush[c]
    and will say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’”[d](G)
Indeed, of Zion it will be said,
    “This one and that one were born in her,
    and the Most High himself will establish her.”
The Lord will write in the register(H) of the peoples:
    “This one was born in Zion.”

As they make music(I) they will sing,
    “All my fountains(J) are in you.”
