70:1 ^[424] KJV Chapter [71] In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion:

70:2 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me:

70:3 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:

70:4 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man:

70:5 For thou [art] my hope, O Lord GOD: [thou art] my trust from my youth:

70:6 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:

70:7 I am as a wonder unto many; but thou [art] my strong refuge:

70:8 Let my mouth be filled [with] thy praise [and with] thy honour all the day:

70:9 Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth:

70:10 For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together:

70:11 Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for [there is] none to deliver:

70:12 O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help:

70:13 Let them be confounded [and] consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered [with] reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt:

70:14 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more:

70:15 My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness [and] thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers:

70:16 I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, [even] of thine only:

70:17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works:

70:18 Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto [this] generation, [and] thy power to every one [that] is to come:

70:19 Thy righteousness also, O God, [is] very high, who hast done great things: O God, who [is] like unto thee:

70:20 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:

70:21 Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side:

70:22 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:

70:23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed:

70:24 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:
