- Chapter 71 -

In you, Lord, I have found refuge

In thee, O Lord, I trust: let me neuer be ashamed.

Rescue mee and deliuer me in thy righteousnes: incline thine eare vnto me and saue me.

Be thou my strong rocke, whereunto I may alway resort: thou hast giuen commandement to saue me: for thou art my rocke, and my fortresse.

Deliuer mee, O my God, out of the hande of the wicked: out of the hande of the euill and cruell man.

For thou art mine hope, O Lord God, euen my trust from my youth.

Vpon thee haue I beene stayed from the wombe: thou art he that tooke me out of my mothers bowels: my praise shalbe alwaies of thee.

I am become as it were a monster vnto many: but thou art my sure trust.

Let my mouth be filled with thy praise, and with thy glory euery day.

Cast mee not off in the time of age: forsake me not when my strength faileth.

For mine enemies speake of mee, and they that lay waite for my soule, take their counsell together,

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

Goe not farre from me, O God: my God, haste thee to helpe me.

Let them be confounded and consumed that are against my soule: let them be couered with reproofe and confusion, that seeke mine hurt.

But I will waite continually, and will praise thee more and more.

My mouth shall daily rehearse thy righteousnesse, and thy saluation: for I knowe not the nomber.

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

O God, thou hast taught me from my youth euen vntill nowe: therefore will I tell of thy wonderous workes,

Yea, euen vnto mine olde age and graie head, O God: forsake me not, vntill I haue declared thine arme vnto this generation, and thy power to all them, that shall come.

And thy righteousnes, O God, I wil exalt on high: for thou hast done great thinges: O God, who is like vnto thee!

Which hast shewed me great troubles and aduersities, but thou wilt returne, and reuiue me, and wilt come againe, and take mee vp from the depth of the earth.

Thou wilt increase mine honour, and returne and comfort me.

Therefore will I praise thee for thy faithfulnesse, O God, vpon instrument and viole: vnto thee will I sing vpon the harpe, O Holy one of Israel.

My lippes will reioyce when I sing vnto thee, and my soule, which thou hast deliuered.

My tongue also shall talke of thy righteousnesse daily: for they are confounded and brought vnto shame, that seeke mine hurt.

In you, Lord, I have found refuge

In you, LORD, I take refuge. Never let me be disappointed.

Deliver me in your righteousness, and rescue me. Turn your ear to me, and save me.

Be to me a rock of refuge to which I may always go. Give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.

Rescue me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.

For you are my hope, Lord GOD, my confidence from my youth.

I have relied on you from the womb. You are he who took me out of my mother’s womb. I will always praise you.

I am a marvel to many, but you are my strong refuge.

My mouth shall be filled with your praise, with your honor all day long.

Don’t reject me in my old age. Don’t forsake me when my strength fails.

For my enemies talk about me. Those who watch for my soul conspire together,

saying, “God has forsaken him. Pursue and take him, for no one will rescue him.”

God, don’t be far from me. My God, hurry to help me.

Let my accusers be disappointed and consumed. Let them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to harm me.

But I will always hope, and will add to all of your praise.

My mouth will tell about your righteousness, and of your salvation all day, though I don’t know its full measure.

I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord GOD. I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours alone.

God, you have taught me from my youth. Until now, I have declared your wondrous works.

Yes, even when I am old and gray-haired, God, don’t forsake me, until I have declared your strength to the next generation, your might to everyone who is to come.

God, your righteousness also reaches to the heavens. You have done great things. God, who is like you?

You, who have shown us many and bitter troubles, you will let me live. You will bring us up again from the depths of the earth.

Increase my honor and comfort me again.

I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, my God. I sing praises to you with the lyre, Holy One of Israel.

My lips shall shout for joy! My soul, which you have redeemed, sings praises to you!

My tongue will also talk about your righteousness all day long, for they are disappointed, and they are confounded, who want to harm me.
