King James Version of the Bible

Book of Psalms

Chapter 86



86:1  Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.
86:2  Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
86:3  Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.
86:4  Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
86:5  For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
86:6  Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.
86:7  In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.
86:8  Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works.
86:9  All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.
86:10  For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.
86:11  Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
86:12  I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
86:13  For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.
86:14  O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.
86:15  But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, long suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
86:16  O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
86:17  Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.
