Psalms 71:4-13
-
4 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
-
5 For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou art my trust from my youth.
-
6 By 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.
-
7 I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge.
-
8 Let my mouth be 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 speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,
-
11 Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him.
-
12 O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.
-
13 Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.
