Chapter 70

1

 

  A psalm for David. Of the sons of Jonadab, and the former captives. In thee, O Lord, I have hoped, let me never be put to confusion:  

 

 


2

 

  deliver me in thy justice, and rescue me. Incline thy ear unto me, and save me.  

 

 


3

 

  Be thou unto me a God, a protector, and a place of strength: that thou mayst make me safe. For thou art my firmament and my refuge.  

 

 


4

 

  Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the sinner, and out of the hand of the transgressor of the law and of the unjust.  

 

 


5

 

  For thou art my patience, O Lord: my hope, O Lord, from my youth;  

 

 


6

 

  By thee have I been confirmed from the womb: from my mother's womb thou art my protector. Of thee shall I continually sing:  

 

 


7

 

  I run become unto many as a wonder, but thou art a strong helper.  

 

 


8

 

  Let my mouth be filled with praise, that I may sing thy glory; thy greatness all the day long.  

 

 


9

 

  Cast me not off in the time of old age: when my strength shall fail, do not thou forsake me.  

 

 


10

 

  For my enemies have spoken against me; and they that watched my soul have consulted together,  

 

 


11

 

  Saying: God hath forsaken him: pursue and take him, for there is none to deliver him.  

 

 


12

 

  O God, be not thou far from me: O my God, make haste to my help.  

 

 


13

 

  Let them be confounded and come to nothing that detract my soul; let them be covered with confusion and shame that seek my hurt.  

 

 


14

 

  But I will always hope; and will add to all thy praise.  

 

 


15

 

  My mouth shall shew forth thy justice; thy salvation all the day long. Because I have not knows learning,  

 

 


16

 

  I will enter into the powers of the Lord: O Lord, I will be mindful of thy justice alone.  

 

 


17

 

  Thou hast taught me, O God, from my youth: and till now I will declare thy wonderful works.  

 

 


18

 

  And unto old age and grey hairs: O God, forsake me not, Until I shew forth thy arm to all the generation that is to come: Thy power,  

 

 


19

 

  and thy justice, O God, even to the highest great things thou hast done: O God, who is like to thee?  

 

 


20

 

  How great troubles hast thou shewn me, many and grievous: and turning thou hast brought me to life, and hast brought me back again from the depths of the earth :  

 

 


21

 

  Thou hast multiplied thy magnificence; and turning to me thou hast comforted me.  

 

 


22

 

  For I will also confess to thee thy truth with the instruments of psaltery: O God, I will sing to thee with the harp, thou holy one of Israel.  

 

 


23

 

  My lips shall greatly rejoice, when I shall sing to thee; and my soul which thou hast redeemed.  

 

 


24

 

  Yea and my tongue shall meditate on thy justice all the day; when they shall be confounded and put to shame that seek evils to me.
