CHAP. LXXI.

1 Dauid in confidence of faith and experience of Gods fauour, prayeth both for himselfe, and against the enemies of his soule. 14 He promiseth constancie. 17 Hee prayeth for perseuerance. 19 He praiseth God, and promiseth to doe it cheerefully.

¹In thee, O Lord, doe I put my trust, let me neuer be put to confusion.¹

²Deliuer mee in thy righteousnesse, and cause me to escape: incline thine eare vnto me, and saue me.

³Bee thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast giuen commandement to saue mee, for thou art my rocke, and my fortresse.³

⁴Deliuer me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the vnrighteous, and cruel man.

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

⁶By thee haue I bene holden vp from the wombe: thou art hee that tooke mee out of my mothers vowels, my praise shalbe continually of thee.

⁷I am as a wonder vnto many, but thou art my strong refuge.

⁸Let my mouth bee filled with thy praise, and with thy honour all the day.

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

¹⁰For mine enemies speake against mee: and they that lay waite for my soule, take counsell together,¹⁰

¹¹Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him, for there is none to deliuer him.

¹²O God, be not farre from mee: O my God, make haste for my helpe.

¹³Let them be confounded and consumed, that are aduersaries to my soule: let them bee couered with reproch and dishonour, that seeke my hurt.

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

¹⁵My mouth shall shew foorth thy righteousnesse, and thy saluation all the day: for I know not the numbers thereof.

¹⁶I will goe in the strength of the Lord God: I will make mention of thy righteousnesse, euen of thine onely.

¹⁷O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto haue I declared thy wonderous workes.

¹⁸Now also when I am old and gray headed, O God, forsake me not: vntill I haue shewed thy strength vnto this generation, and thy power to euery one that is to come.¹⁸

¹⁹Thy righteousnes also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like vnto thee?

²⁰Thou which hast shewed mee great, and sore troubles, shalt quicken mee againe, and shalt bring mee vp againe from the depthes of the earth.

²¹Thou shalt increase my greatnesse, and comfort me on euery side.

²²I will also praise thee with the psalterie, euen thy trueth, O my God: vnto thee will I sing withthe harpe, O thou Holy one of Israel.²²

²³My lippes shall greatly reioyce when I sing vnto thee: and my soule, which thou hast redeemed.

²⁴My tongue also shall talke of thy righteousnesse all the day long: for they are confounded, forthey are brought vnto shame, that seeke my hurt.
