The King James Version Bible

Psalms 71:13-24

  1. Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.

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

  3. My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.

  4. I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.

  5. O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.

  6. Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.

  7. Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee!

  8. Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

  9. Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.

  10. I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.

  11. My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.

  12. My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.
