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.
1 In thee, O Lord, doe I put my trust, let me neuer be put to confusion.1
2 Deliuer mee in thy righteousnesse, and cause me to escape: incline thine eare vnto me, and saue me.
3 Bee 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
5 For thou art my hope, O Lord God: thou art my trust from my youth.
7 I am as a wonder vnto many, but thou art my strong refuge.
8 Let my mouth bee filled with thy praise, and with thy honour all the day.
9 Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.
10 For mine enemies speake against mee: and they that lay waite for my soule, take counsell together,10
11 Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him, for there is none to deliuer him.
12 O God, be not farre from mee: O my God, make haste for my helpe.
14 But I wil hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.
17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto haue I declared thy wonderous workes.
18 Now 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
21 Thou shalt increase my greatnesse, and comfort me on euery side.
22 I 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
23 My lippes shall greatly reioyce when I sing vnto thee: and my soule, which thou hast redeemed.
