Psalms:71
Seeker Overlay ON
*
In you ,
O LORD ,
do I put my trust :
let me never be put to confusion .
*
Deliver me in your righteousness ,
and cause me to escape :
incline yours ear unto me ,
and save me .
*
Be you my strong habitation ,
unto which I may continually resort :
you have given commandment to save me ;
for you are my rock and my fortress .
*
Deliver me ,
O my God ,
out of the hand of the wicked ,
out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man .
*
For you are my hope ,
O Lord GOD :
you are my trust from my youth .
*
By you have I been held up from the womb :
you are he that took me out of my mother '
s bowels :
my praise shall be continually of you .
*
I am as a wonder unto many ;
but you are my strong refuge .
*
Let my mouth be filled with your praise and with your honour all the day .
*
Cast me not off in the time of old age ;
forsake me not when my strength fails .
*
For mine enemies speak against me ;
and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together ,
*
Saying ,
God has forsaken him :
persecute and take him ;
for there is none to deliver him .
*
O God ,
be not far from me :
O my God ,
make haste for my help .
*
Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul ;
let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt .
*
But I will hope continually ,
and will yet praise you more and more .
*
My mouth shall show forth your righteousness and your salvation all the day ;
for I know not the numbers thereof .
*
I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD :
I will make mention of your righteousness ,
even of yours only .
*
O God ,
you have taught me from my youth :
and until now have I declared your wondrous works .
*
Now also when I am old and greyheaded ,
O God ,
forsake me not ;
until I have showed your strength unto this generation ,
and your power to every one that is to come .
*
Your righteousness also ,
O God ,
is very high ,
who have done great things :
O God ,
who is like unto you !
*
You ,
which have showed me great and sore troubles ,
shall restore life in me again ,
and shall bring me up again from the depths of the earth .
*
You shall increase my greatness ,
and comfort me on every side .
*
I will also praise you with the psaltery ,
even your truth ,
O my God :
unto you will I sing with the harp ,
O you Holy One of Israel .
*
My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto you ;
and my soul ,
which you have redeemed .
*
My tongue also shall talk of your righteousness all the day long :
for they are confounded ,
for they are brought unto shame ,
that seek my hurt .
