Psalms 71:1-14 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

1. In thee, Jehovah, do I trust: let me never be ashamed.

2. Deliver me in thy righteousness, and rescue me; incline thine ear unto me, and save me.

3. Be to me a rock of habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.

4. My God rescue me 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 Jehovah, my confidence from my youth.

6. On thee have I been stayed from the womb; from the bowels of my mother thou didst draw me forth: my praise shall be continually of thee.

7. I have been as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge.

8. My mouth shall be filled with thy praise, with thy glory, 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 watch for my soul consult together,

11. Saying, God hath forsaken him; pursue and seize him, for there is none to deliver.

12. O God be not far from me; my God hasten to my help.

13. Let them be ashamed, let them be consumed, that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.

14. But as for me, I will hope continually, and will praise thee yet more and more.
