Psalms 71:5-14

⁵For thou art my hope, O Lord Jehovah: Thou art my trust from my youth.

⁶By thee have I been holden up from the womb; Thou art he that took me out of my mother’s bowels: My praise shall be continually of thee.

⁷I am as a wonder unto many; But thou art my strong refuge.

⁸My mouth shall be filled with thy praise, And with thy honor all the day.

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

¹⁰For mine enemies speak concerning me; And they that watch for my soul take counsel together,

¹¹Saying, God hath forsaken him: Pursue and take him; for there is none to deliver.

¹²O God, be not far from me; O my God, make haste to help me.

¹³Let them be put to shame and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor that seek my hurt.

¹⁴But I will hope continually, And will praise thee yet more and more.
