Psalm 86

C.M. (8.6.8.6) Psalm 86 Isaac Watts

Psalm Text

Among the princes, earthly gods,

There's none hath power divine;

Nor is their nature, mighty Lord,

Nor are their works like thine.

The nations thou hast made shall bring

Their offerings round thy throne;

For thou alone dost wondrous things,

For thou art God alone.

Lord, I would walk with holy feet;

Teach me thine heavenly ways,

And my poor scatter'd thoughts unite

In God my Father's praise.

Great is thy mercy, and my tongue

Shall those sweet wonders tell,

How by thy grace my sinking soul

Rose from the deeps of hell.
