Psalms 71:7-21

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.

¹⁵My mouth shall tell of thy righteousness, And of thy salvation all the day; For I know not the numbers thereof.

¹⁶I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord Jehovah: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.

¹⁷O God, thou hast taught me from my youth; And hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.

¹⁸Yea, even when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not, Until I have declared thy strength unto the next generation, Thy might to every one that is to come.

¹⁹Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high; Thou who hast done great things, O God, who is like unto thee?

²⁰Thou, who hast showed us many and sore troubles, Wilt quicken us again, And wilt bring us up again from the depths of the earth.

²¹Increase thou my greatness, And turn again and comfort me.
