Psalms 71:5-11 Metrical Psalms 1650 (MP1650)

5. For thou, O Lord God, art my hope,and from my youth my trust.

6. Thou from the womb didst hold me up;thou art the same that meOut of my mother's bowels took;I ever will praise thee.

7. To many I a wonder am;but thou'rt my refuge strong.

8. Fill'd let my mouth be with thy praiseand honour all day long.

9. O do not cast me off, when asold age doth overtake me;And when my strength decayed is,then do not thou forsake me.

10. For those that are mine enemiesagainst me speak with hate;And they together counsel takethat for my soul lay wait.

11. They said, God leaves him; him pursueand take: none will him save.
