Psalms 71:1 - Psalms 71:11
Psalms 71
1 In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; let me never be put to confusion.
2 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape; incline thine ear unto me, and save me.
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.
4 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
5 For thou art my hope, O Lord God; thou art my trust from my youth.
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.
7 I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge.
8 Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honor all the day.
9 Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.
10 For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,
11 Saying, God hath forsaken him; persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him.
