Psalms 71:3-15 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

3. Be my strong habitation, to which I may continually resort: you have given commandment to save me; for you are 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 you are my hope, O Lord GOD: you are my trust from my youth.

6. By you have I been upheld from birth: you are he that took me out of my mother's womb: my praise shall be continually of you.

7. I am as a wonder unto many; but you are my strong refuge.

8. Let my mouth be filled with your praise and with your honor all the day.

9. Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength fails.

10. For my enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,

11. Saying, God has 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 for my help.

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 you more and more.

15. My mouth shall show forth your righteousness and your salvation all the day; for I know not the limits thereof.
