Psalm 71:1-24 KJ21

[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 held from the womb; Thou art He that took me out of my mother's womb. 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 lie in wait for my soul take counsel together, [11] saying, "God hath forsaken him; persecute and take him, for there is none to deliver him." [12] O God, be not far from me; O my God, make haste to help me. [13] Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonor that seek my hurt. [14] But I will hope continually and will yet praise Thee more and more. [15] My mouth shall show forth Thy righteousness and Thy salvation all the day, for I know not the numbers thereof. [16] I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD; I will make mention of Thy righteousness, even of Thine only. [17] O God, Thou hast taught me from my youth, and hitherto have I declared Thy wondrous works. [18] Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not, until I have shown Thy strength unto this generation and Thy power to every one that is to come. [19] Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things. O God, who is like unto Thee! [20] Thou, who hast shown me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth. [21] Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side. [22] I will also praise Thee with the psaltery for Thy truth, O my God; unto Thee will I sing with the harp, O Thou Holy One of Israel. [23] My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto Thee, and my soul which Thou hast redeemed. [24] My tongue also shall talk of Thy righteousness all the day long; for they are confounded, for they are brought to shame that seek my hurt.
