Psalms:71
Seeker Overlay ON
*
In thee ,
O Lord ,
do I put my trust ;
let me never be made ashamed .
*
In thy righteousness do thou deliver me and release me :
incline thy ear unto me ,
and save me .
*
Be thou unto me a rocky habitation ,
whereunto I may continually resort ,
which thou hast ordained to save me ;
for my rock and my strong
hold art thou .
*
O my God ,
release me out of the hand of the wicked ,
out of the grasp of the unrighteous and violent man .
*
For thou art my hope ,
O Lord Eternal :
thou art my trust from my youth .
*
By thee have I been supported from my birth :
thou art he that took me out of my mother
s womb :
of thee is my praise continually .
*
As a wonderful token have I been unto many ;
but thou art my strong refuge .
*
My mouth shall be filled with thy praise ,
and with thy glory all the day .
*
Cast me not off in the time of old age :
when my strength faileth ,
forsake me not .
*
For my enemies speak of me ;
and they that watch for my soul take counsel together ,
*
Saying , "
God hath forsaken him :
pursue and seize him :
for there is none to deliver ."
*
O God ,
be not far from me :
O my God ,
hasten to my help .
*
Let those be made ashamed ,
let them perish ,
that are adversaries to my soul :
let those be covered with reproach and dishonor that seek my unhappiness .
*
But I will continually hope ,
and will add yet more to all thy praise .
*
My mouth shall relate thy righteousness ,
all the day thy salvation ;
for I know not their numbers .
*
I will come to praise the mighty deeds of the Lord Eternal :
I will make mention of thy righteousness ,
yea ,
thine only .
*
O God ,
thou hast taught me from my youth :
and hitherto I ever tell of thy wondrous deeds .
*
Therefore also even in old age ,
and when I am grayheaded ,
O God ,
forsake me not :
until I have told of thy strength unto generation ,
to every one that may come of thy might .
*
And thy righteousness ,
O God ,
reacheth even to the height ,
thou ,
who hast done great things :
O God ,
who is like thee !
*
Thou ,
who hast shown me great distresses and misfortunes ,
wilt again revive me ;
and from the depths of the earth wilt thou bring me up again .
*
Thou wilt increase my greatness ,
and wilt turn round and comfort me .
*
Also I ,
I will thank thee with the psaltery ,
thy truth ,
O my God :
I will sing unto thee with the harp ,
O thou Holy One of Israel .
*
My lips shall shout joyfully when I sing unto thee ;
and my soul ,
which thou hast redeemed .
*
Also my tongue shall speak all the day of thy righteousness ;
for ashamed ,
for put to the blush are those that seek my unhappiness .
