71-1: |
In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion. |
71-2: |
Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me. |
71-3: |
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. |
71-4: |
Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. |
71-5: |
For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou art my trust from my youth. |
71-6: |
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. |
71-7: |
I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge. |
71-8: |
Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day. |
71-9: |
Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth. |
71-10: |
For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together, |
71-11: |
Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him. |
71-12: |
O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help. |
71-13: |
Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt. |
71-14: |
But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more. |
71-15: |
My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof. |
71-16: |
I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only. |
71-17: |
O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works. |
71-18: |
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. |
71-19: |
Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee! |
71-20: |
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. |
71-21: |
Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side. |
71-22: |
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. |
71-23: |
My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed. |
71-24: |
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. |
