The Old Testament of the
King James Version of the Bible
80:1 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou
that leadest Joseph like a
flock; thou that dwellest between the
cherubims, shine forth.
80:2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and
Manasseh stir up thy strength,
and come and save us.
80:3 Turn us again, O God, and cause thy
face to shine; and we shall
be saved.
80:4 O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou
be angry against the
prayer of thy people?
80:5 Thou feedest them with the bread of
tears; and givest them tears
to drink in great measure.
80:6 Thou makest us a strife unto our
neighbours: and our enemies
laugh among themselves.
80:7 Turn us again, O God of hosts, and
cause thy face to shine; and
we shall be saved.
80:8 Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt:
thou hast cast out the
heathen, and planted it.
80:9 Thou preparedst room before it, and
didst cause it to take deep
root, and it filled the land.
80:10 The hills were covered with the shadow
of it, and the boughs
thereof were like the goodly cedars.
80:11 She sent out her boughs unto the sea,
and her branches unto the
river.
80:12 Why hast thou then broken down her
hedges, so that all they
which pass by the way do pluck her?
80:13 The boar out of the wood doth waste
it, and the wild beast of
the field doth devour it.
80:14 Return, we beseech thee, O God of
hosts: look down from heaven,
and behold, and visit this vine;
80:15 And the vineyard which thy right hand
hath planted, and the
branch that thou madest strong for thyself.
80:16 It is burned with fire, it is cut
down: they perish at the
rebuke of thy countenance.
80:17 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy
right hand, upon the son of
man whom thou madest strong for thyself.
80:18 So will not we go back from thee:
quicken us, and we will call
upon thy name.
80:19 Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts,
cause thy face to shine; and
we shall be saved.
81:1 Sing aloud unto God our strength: make
a joyful noise unto the
God of Jacob.
81:2 Take a psalm, and bring hither the
timbrel, the pleasant harp
with the psaltery.
81:3 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in
the time appointed, on
our solemn feast day.
81:4 For this was a statute for Israel, and
a law of the God of Jacob.
81:5 This he ordained in Joseph for a
testimony, when he went out
through the land of Egypt: where I heard a
language that I understood
not.
81:6 I removed his shoulder from the burden:
his hands were delivered
from the pots.
81:7 Thou calledst in trouble, and I
delivered thee; I answered thee
in the secret place of thunder: I proved
thee at the waters of
Meribah.
Selah.
81:8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify
unto thee: O Israel, if
thou wilt hearken unto me;
81:9 There shall no strange god be in thee;
neither shalt thou worship
any strange god.
81:10 I am the LORD thy God, which brought
thee out of the land of
Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill
it.
81:11 But my people would not hearken to my
voice; and Israel would
none of me.
81:12 So I gave them up unto their own
hearts' lust: and they walked
in their own counsels.
81:13 Oh that my people had hearkened unto
me, and Israel had walked
in my ways!
81:14 I should soon have subdued their
enemies, and turned my hand
against their adversaries.
81:15 The haters of the LORD should have
submitted themselves unto
him: but their time should have endured for
ever.
81:16 He should have fed them also with the
finest of the wheat: and
with honey out of the rock should I have
satisfied thee.
82:1 God standeth in the congregation of the
mighty; he judgeth among
the gods.
82:2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and
accept the persons of the
wicked? Selah.
82:3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do
justice to the afflicted and
needy.
82:4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid them
out of the hand of the
wicked.
82:5 They know not, neither will they
understand; they walk on in
darkness: all the foundations of the earth
are out of course.
82:6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of
you are children of the most
High.
82:7 But ye shall die like men, and fall
like one of the princes.
82:8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou
shalt inherit all
nations.
83:1 Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not
thy peace, and be not
still, O God.
83:2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult:
and they that hate thee
have lifted up the head.
83:3 They have taken crafty counsel against
thy people, and consulted
against thy hidden ones.
83:4 They have said, Come, and let us cut
them off from being a
nation; that the name of Israel may be no
more in remembrance.
83:5 For they have consulted together with
one consent: they are
confederate against thee:
83:6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the
Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the
Hagarenes;
83:7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the
Philistines with the
inhabitants of Tyre;
83:8 Assur also is joined with them: they
have holpen the children of
Lot.
Selah.
83:9 Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as
to Sisera, as to Jabin,
at the brook of Kison:
83:10 Which perished at Endor: they became
as dung for the earth.
83:11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like
Zeeb: yea, all their
princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
83:12 Who said, Let us take to ourselves the
houses of God in
possession.
83:13 O my God, make them like a wheel; as
the stubble before the
wind.
83:14 As the fire burneth a wood, and as the
flame setteth the
mountains on fire;
83:15 So persecute them with thy tempest,
and make them afraid with
thy storm.
83:16 Fill their faces with shame; that they
may seek thy name, O
LORD.
83:17 Let them be confounded and troubled
for ever; yea, let them be
put to shame, and perish:
83:18 That men may know that thou, whose
name alone is JEHOVAH, art
the most high over all the earth.
84:1 How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD
of hosts!
84:2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for
the courts of the LORD:
my heart and my flesh crieth out for the
living God.
84:3 Yea, the sparrow hath found an house,
and the swallow a nest for
herself, where she may lay her young, even
thine altars, O LORD of
hosts, my King, and my God.
84:4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy
house: they will be still
praising thee. Selah.
84:5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in
thee; in whose heart are
the ways of them.
84:6 Who passing through the valley of Baca
make it a well; the rain
also filleth the pools.
84:7 They go from strength to strength,
every one of them in Zion
appeareth before God.
84:8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer:
give ear, O God of Jacob.
Selah.
84:9 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon
the face of thine
anointed.
84:10 For a day in thy courts is better than
a thousand. I had rather
be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than
to dwell in the tents of
wickedness.
84:11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield:
the LORD will give grace
and glory: no good thing will he withhold
from them that walk
uprightly.
84:12 O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man
that trusteth in thee.
85:1 Lord, thou hast been favourable unto
thy land: thou hast brought
back the captivity of Jacob.
85:2 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy
people, thou hast covered
all their sin. Selah.
85:3 Thou hast taken away all thy wrath:
thou hast turned thyself from
the fierceness of thine anger.
85:4 Turn us, O God of our salvation, and
cause thine anger toward us
to cease.
85:5 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever?
wilt thou draw out thine
anger to all generations?
85:6 Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy
people may rejoice in
thee?
85:7 Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us
thy salvation.
85:8 I will hear what God the LORD will
speak: for he will speak peace
unto his people, and to his saints: but let
them not turn again to
folly.
85:9 Surely his salvation is nigh them that
fear him; that glory may
dwell in our land.
85:10 Mercy and truth are met together;
righteousness and peace have
kissed each other.
85:11 Truth shall spring out of the earth;
and righteousness shall
look down from heaven.
85:12 Yea, the LORD shall give that which is
good; and our land shall
yield her increase.
85:13 Righteousness shall go before him; and
shall set us in the way
of his steps.
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.
87:1 His foundation is in the holy
mountains.
87:2 The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more
than all the dwellings of
Jacob.
87:3 Glorious things are spoken of thee, O
city of God. Selah.
87:4 I will make mention of Rahab and
Babylon to them that know me:
behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia;
this man was born there.
87:5 And of Zion it shall be said, This and
that man was born in her:
and the highest himself shall establish her.
87:6 The LORD shall count, when he writeth
up the people, that this
man was born there. Selah.
87:7 As well the singers as the players on
instruments shall be there:
all my springs are in thee.
88:1 O lord God of my salvation, I have
cried day and night before
thee:
88:2 Let my prayer come before thee: incline
thine ear unto my cry;
88:3 For my soul is full of troubles: and my
life draweth nigh unto
the grave.
88:4 I am counted with them that go down
into the pit: I am as a man
that hath no strength:
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.
88:6 Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in
darkness, in the deeps.
88:7 Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou
hast afflicted me with all
thy waves. Selah.
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.
88:9 Mine eye mourneth by reason of
affliction: LORD, I have called
daily upon thee, I have stretched out my
hands unto thee.
88:10 Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead?
shall the dead arise and
praise thee? Selah.
88:11 Shall thy lovingkindness be declared
in the grave? or thy
faithfulness in destruction?
88:12 Shall thy wonders be known in the
dark? and thy righteousness in
the land of forgetfulness?
88:13 But unto thee have I cried, O LORD;
and in the morning shall my
prayer prevent thee.
88:14 LORD, why castest thou off my soul?
why hidest thou thy face
from me?
88:15 I am afflicted and ready to die from
my youth up: while I suffer
thy terrors I am distracted.
88:16 Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy
terrors have cut me off.
88:17 They came round about me daily like
water; they compassed me
about together.
88:18 Lover and friend hast thou put far
from me, and mine
acquaintance into darkness.
89:1 I will sing of the mercies of the LORD
for ever: with my mouth
will I make known thy faithfulness to all
generations.
89:2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built
up for ever: thy
faithfulness shalt thou establish in the
very heavens.
89:3 I have made a covenant with my chosen,
I have sworn unto David my
servant,
89:4 Thy seed will I establish for ever, and
build up thy throne to
all generations. Selah.
89:5 And the heavens shall praise thy
wonders, O LORD: thy
faithfulness also in the congregation of the
saints.
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?
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.
89:8 O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong
LORD like unto thee? or to
thy faithfulness round about thee?
89:9 Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when
the waves thereof arise,
thou stillest them.
89:10 Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as
one that is slain; thou
hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong
arm.
89:11 The heavens are thine, the earth also
is thine: as for the world
and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded
them.
89:12 The north and the south thou hast
created them: Tabor and Hermon
shall rejoice in thy name.
89:13 Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy
hand, and high is thy
right hand.
89:14 Justice and judgment are the
habitation of thy throne: mercy and
truth shall go before thy face.
89:15 Blessed is the people that know the
joyful sound: they shall
walk, O LORD, in the light of thy
countenance.
89:16 In thy name shall they rejoice all the
day: and in thy
righteousness shall they be exalted.
89:17 For thou art the glory of their
strength: and in thy favour our
horn shall be exalted.
89:18 For the LORD is our defence; and the
Holy One of Israel is our
king.
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.
89:20 I have found David my servant; with my
holy oil have I anointed
him:
89:21 With whom my hand shall be
established: mine arm also shall
strengthen him.
89:22 The enemy shall not exact upon him;
nor the son of wickedness
afflict him.
89:23 And I will beat down his foes before
his face, and plague them
that hate him.
89:24 But my faithfulness and my mercy shall
be with him: and in my
name shall his horn be exalted.
89:25 I will set his hand also in the sea,
and his right hand in the
rivers.
89:26 He shall cry unto me, Thou art my
father, my God, and the rock
of my salvation.
89:27 Also I will make him my firstborn,
higher than the kings of the
earth.
89:28 My mercy will I keep for him for
evermore, and my covenant shall
stand fast with him.
89:29 His seed also will I make to endure
for ever, and his throne as
the days of heaven.
89:30 If his children forsake my law, and
walk not in my judgments;
89:31 If they break my statutes, and keep
not my commandments;
89:32 Then will I visit their transgression
with the rod, and their
iniquity with stripes.
89:33 Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I
not utterly take from him,
nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
89:34 My covenant will I not break, nor
alter the thing that is gone
out of my lips.
89:35 Once have I sworn by my holiness that
I will not lie unto David.
89:36 His seed shall endure for ever, and
his throne as the sun before
me.
89:37 It shall be established for ever as
the moon, and as a faithful
witness in heaven. Selah.
89:38 But thou hast cast off and abhorred,
thou hast been wroth with
thine anointed.
89:39 Thou hast made void the covenant of
thy servant: thou hast
profaned his crown by casting it to the
ground.
89:40 Thou hast broken down all his hedges;
thou hast brought his
strong holds to ruin.
89:41 All that pass by the way spoil him: he
is a reproach to his
neighbours.
89:42 Thou hast set up the right hand of his
adversaries; thou hast
made all his enemies to rejoice.
89:43 Thou hast also turned the edge of his
sword, and hast not made
him to stand in the battle.
89:44 Thou hast made his glory to cease, and
cast his throne down to
the ground.
89:45 The days of his youth hast thou
shortened: thou hast covered him
with shame. Selah.
89:46 How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself
for ever? shall thy wrath
burn like fire?
89:47 Remember how short my time is:
wherefore hast thou made all men
in vain?
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.
89:49 Lord, where are thy former
lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest
unto David in thy truth?
89:50 Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy
servants; how I do bear in
my bosom the reproach of all the mighty
people;
89:51 Wherewith thine enemies have
reproached, O LORD; wherewith they
have reproached the footsteps of thine
anointed.
89:52 Blessed be the LORD for evermore.
Amen, and Amen.
