Chapter 71
|
1
|
In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put
to confusion. |
2
|
Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape:
incline thine ear unto me, and save me. |
3
|
Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually
resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou
art my rock and my fortress. |
4
|
Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked,
out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. |
5
|
For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou art my trust from
my youth. |
6
|
By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art
he that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise shall
be continually of thee. |
7
|
I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge. |
8
|
Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour
all the day. |
9
|
Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not
when my strength faileth. |
10
|
For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay
wait for my soul take counsel together, |
11
|
Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him;
for there is none to deliver him. |
12
|
O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my
help. |
13
|
Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries
to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour
that seek my hurt. |
14
|
But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee
more and more. |
15
|
My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation
all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof. |
16
|
I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make
mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only. |
17
|
O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto
have I declared thy wondrous works. |
18
|
Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake
me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation,
and thy power to every one that is to come. |
19
|
Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast
done great things: O God, who is like unto thee! |
20
|
Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt
quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the
depths of the earth. |
21
|
Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every
side. |
22
|
I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth,
O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy
One of Israel. |
23
|
My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee;
and my soul, which thou hast redeemed. |
24
|
My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the
day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought
unto shame, that seek my hurt. |
