Psalms 87:1-4

¹A canticle of a psalm for the sons of Core: unto the end, for Maheleth, to answer understanding of Eman the Ezrahite.

²O Lord, the God of my salvation: I have cried in the day, and in the night before thee.

³Let my prayer come in before thee: incline thy ear to my petition.

⁴For my soul is filled with evils: and my life hath drawn nigh to hell.
