PS-71:1 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put

to confusion.

PS-71:2 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape:

incline thine

ear unto me, and save me.

PS-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.

PS-71:4 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out

of the hand

of the unrighteous and cruel man.

PS-71:5 For thou [art] my hope, O Lord GOD: [thou art] my trust

from my youth.

PS-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.

PS-71:7 I am as a wonder unto many; but thou [art] my strong

refuge.

PS-71:8 Let my mouth be filled [with] thy praise [and with] thy

honour all the

day.

PS-71:9 Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not

when my

strength faileth.

PS-71:10 For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay

wait for my soul

take counsel together,

PS-71:11 Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him;

for [there is]

none to deliver [him].

PS-71:12 O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my

help.

PS-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.

PS-71:14 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee

more and more.

PS-71:15 My mouth shall show forth thy righteousness [and] thy

salvation all

the day; for I know not the numbers [thereof].

PS-71:16 I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make

mention of thy

righteousness, [even] of thine only.

PS-71:17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto

have I

declared thy wondrous works.

PS-71:18 Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake

me not; until I

have showed thy strength unto [this] generation, [and] thy power

to every one

[that] is to come.

PS-71:19 Thy righteousness also, O God, [is] very high, who hast

done great

things: O God, who [is] like unto thee!

PS-71:20 [Thou], which hast showed me great and sore troubles,

shalt quicken

me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the

earth.

PS-71:21 Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on

every side.

PS-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.

PS-71:23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee;

and my soul,

which thou hast redeemed.

PS-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.
