New International Version NIV
1 (87-1) <A canticle of a psalm for the sons of Core: unto the end, for Maheleth, to answer understanding of Eman the Ezrahite.> (87-2) O Lord, the God of my salvation: I have cried in the day, and in the night before thee.
1
LORD, you are the God who saves me; day and night I cry out to you.
2 (87-3) Let my prayer come in before thee: incline thy ear to my petition.
2
May my prayer come before you; turn your ear to my cry.
3 (87-4) For my soul is filled with evils: and my life hath drawn nigh to hell.
3
I am overwhelmed with troubles and my life draws near to death.
4 (87-5) I am counted among them that go down to the pit: I am become as a man without help,
4
I am counted among those who go down to the pit; I am like one without strength.
5 (87-6) Free among the dead. Like the slain sleeping in the sepulchres, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.
5
I am set apart with the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom you remember no more, who are cut off from your care.
6 (87-7) They have laid me in the lower pit: in the dark places, and in the shadow of death.
6
You have put me in the lowest pit, in the darkest depths.
