For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, And abundant in lovingkindness to all who call upon You.

In the day of my trouble I shall call upon You, For You will answer me.

For You are great and do wondrous deeds; You alone are God.

For Your lovingkindness toward me is great, And You have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.

Show me a sign for good, That those who hate me may see it and be ashamed, Because You, O Lord , have helped me and comforted me.

A Song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. For the choir director; according to Mahalath Leannoth. A Maskil of Heman the Ezrahite. O Lord , the God of my salvation, I have cried out by day and in the night before You.

For my soul has had enough troubles, And my life has drawn near to Sheol.

Will You perform wonders for the dead? Will the departed spirits rise and praise You? Selah.

But I, O Lord , have cried out to You for help, And in the morning my prayer comes before You.

For I have said, "Lovingkindness will be built up forever; In the heavens You will establish Your faithfulness."

For who in the skies is comparable to the Lord ? Who among the sons of the mighty is like the Lord ,

The north and the south, You have created them; Tabor and Hermon shout for joy at Your name.

For You are the glory of their strength, And by Your favor our horn is exalted.

For our shield belongs to the Lord , And our king to the Holy One of Israel.

"My lovingkindness I will keep for him forever, And My covenant shall be confirmed to him.

Remember what my span of life is; For what vanity You have created all the sons of men!

For a thousand years in Your sight Are like yesterday when it passes by, Or as a watch in the night.

For we have been consumed by Your anger And by Your wrath we have been dismayed.

For all our days have declined in Your fury; We have finished our years like a sigh.

As for the days of our life, they contain seventy years, Or if due to strength, eighty years, Yet their pride is but labor and sorrow; For soon it is gone and we fly away.
