Psalms 86-90

Psalms 86

Psa 86:1 A Prayer of David. Bow down Thine ear, O Lord, hear me: for I am poor and needy.

Psa 86:2 Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O Thou my God, save Thy servant that trusteth in Thee.

Psa 86:3 Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto Thee daily.

Psa 86:4 Rejoice the soul of Thy servant: for unto Thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

Psa 86:5 For Thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon Thee.

Psa 86:6 Give ear, O Lord, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.

Psa 86:7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon Thee: for Thou wilt answer me.

Psa 86:8 Among the gods there is none like unto Thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto Thy works.

Psa 86:9 All nations whom Thou hast made shall come and worship before Thee, O Lord; and shall glorify Thy name.

Psa 86:10 For Thou art great, and doest wondrous things: Thou art God alone.

Psa 86:11 Teach me Thy way, O Lord; I will walk in Thy truth: unite my heart to fear Thy name.

Psa 86:12 I will praise Thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify Thy name for evermore.

Psa 86:13 For great is Thy mercy toward me: and Thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Hell.

Psa 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.

Psa 86:15 But Thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.

Psa 86:16 O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give Thy strength unto Thy servant, and save the son of Thine handmaid.

Psa 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.

Psalms 87

Psa 87:1 A Psalm or Song for the sons of Ko´-rah. His foundation is in the holy mountains.

Psa 87:2 The Lord loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

Psa 87:3 Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.

Psa 87:4 I will make mention of Ra´-hab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Phi-lis´-ti-a, and Tyre, with Ethi-o´-pi-a; this man was born there.

Psa 87:5 And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the Highest Himself shall establish her.

Psa 87:6 The Lord shall count, when He writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah.

Psa 87:7 As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in Thee.

Psalms 88

Psa 88:1 A Song or Psalm for the sons of Ko´-rah, to the chief Musician upon Ma´-ha-lath Le-an´-noth, Mas´-chil of He´-man the Ez´-ra-hite. O Lord God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before Thee:

Psa 88:2 Let my prayer come before Thee: incline Thine ear unto my cry;

Psa 88:3 For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.

Psa 88:4 I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:

Psa 88:5 Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom Thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from Thy hand.

Psa 88:6 Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.

Psa 88:7 Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and Thou hast afflicted me with all Thy waves. Selah.

Psa 88:8 Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; Thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.

Psa 88:9 Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: Lord, I have called daily upon Thee, I have stretched out my hands unto Thee.

Psa 88:10 Wilt Thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise Thee? Selah.

Psa 88:11 Shall Thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or Thy faithfulness in destruction?

Psa 88:12 Shall Thy wonders be known in the dark? and Thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

Psa 88:13 But unto Thee have I cried, O Lord; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent Thee.

Psa 88:14 Lord, why castest Thou off my soul? why hidest Thou Thy face from me?

Psa 88:15 I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer Thy terrors I am distracted.

Psa 88:16 Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; Thy terrors have cut me off.

Psa 88:17 They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.

Psa 88:18 Lover and friend hast Thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.

Psalms 89

Psa 89:1 Mas´-chil of E´-than the Ez´-ra-hite. I will sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever: with my mouth will I make known Thy faithfulness to all generations.

Psa 89:2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: Thy faithfulness shalt Thou establish in the very heavens.

Psa 89:3 I have made a covenant with My chosen, I have sworn unto David My servant,

Psa 89:4 Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.

Psa 89:5 And the heavens shall praise Thy wonders, O Lord: Thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.

Psa 89:6 For who in the Heaven can be compared unto the Lord? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the Lord?

Psa 89:7 God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about Him.

Psa 89:8 O Lord God of hosts, who is a strong Lord like unto Thee? or to Thy faithfulness round about Thee?

Psa 89:9 Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, Thou stillest them.

Psa 89:10 Thou hast broken Ra´-hab in pieces, as one that is slain; Thou hast scattered Thine enemies with Thy strong arm.

Psa 89:11 The heavens are Thine, the earth also is Thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, Thou hast founded them.

Psa 89:12 The north and the south Thou hast created them: Ta´-bor and Hermon shall rejoice in Thy name.

Psa 89:13 Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is Thy hand, and high is Thy right hand.

Psa 89:14 Justice and judgment are the habitation of Thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before Thy face.

Psa 89:15 Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O Lord, in the light of Thy countenance.

Psa 89:16 In Thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in Thy righteousness shall they be exalted.

Psa 89:17 For Thou art the glory of their strength: and in Thy favour our horn shall be exalted.

Psa 89:18 For the Lord is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our King.

Psa 89:19 Then Thou spakest in vision to Thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.

Psa 89:20 I have found David My servant; with My holy oil have I anointed him:

Psa 89:21 With whom My hand shall be established: Mine arm also shall strengthen him.

Psa 89:22 The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

Psa 89:23 And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.

Psa 89:24 But My faithfulness and My mercy shall be with him: and in My name shall his horn be exalted.

Psa 89:25 I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.

Psa 89:26 He shall cry unto Me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.

Psa 89:27 Also I will make him My firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.

Psa 89:28 My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and My covenant shall stand fast with him.

Psa 89:29 His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of Heaven.

Psa 89:30 If his children forsake My law, and walk not in My judgments;

Psa 89:31 If they break My statutes, and keep not My commandments;

Psa 89:32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.

Psa 89:33 Nevertheless My lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer My faithfulness to fail.

Psa 89:34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of My lips.

Psa 89:35 Once have I sworn by My holiness that I will not lie unto David.

Psa 89:36 His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before Me.

Psa 89:37 It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in Heaven. Selah.

Psa 89:38 But Thou hast cast off and abhorred, Thou hast been wroth with Thine anointed.

Psa 89:39 Thou hast made void the covenant of Thy servant: Thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.

Psa 89:40 Thou hast broken down all his hedges; Thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin.

Psa 89:41 All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours.

Psa 89:42 Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; Thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.

Psa 89:43 Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.

Psa 89:44 Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.

Psa 89:45 The days of his youth hast Thou shortened: Thou hast covered him with shame. Selah.

Psa 89:46 How long, Lord? wilt Thou hide Thyself for ever? shall Thy wrath burn like fire?

Psa 89:47 Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast Thou made all men in vain?

Psa 89:48 What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.

Psa 89:49 Lord, where are Thy former lovingkindnesses, which Thou swarest unto David in Thy truth?

Psa 89:50 Remember, Lord, the reproach of Thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people;

Psa 89:51 Wherewith Thine enemies have reproached, O Lord; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of Thine anointed.

Psa 89:52 Blessed be the Lord for evermore. A-men´, and A-men´.

Psalms 90

Psa 90:1 A Prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.

Psa 90:2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever Thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, Thou art God.

Psa 90:3 Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.

Psa 90:4 For a thousand years in Thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

Psa 90:5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.

Psa 90:6 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.

Psa 90:7 For we are consumed by Thine anger, and by Thy wrath are we troubled.

Psa 90:8 Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, our secret sins in the light of Thy countenance.

Psa 90:9 For all our days are passed away in Thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.

Psa 90:10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

Psa 90:11 Who knoweth the power of Thine anger? even according to Thy fear, so is Thy wrath.

Psa 90:12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

Psa 90:13 Return, O Lord, how long? and let it repent Thee concerning Thy servants.

Psa 90:14 O satisfy us early with Thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

Psa 90:15 Make us glad according to the days wherein Thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.

Psa 90:16 Let Thy work appear unto Thy servants, and Thy glory unto their children.

Psa 90:17 And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us: and establish Thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish Thou it.
