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.
14
But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.
15
My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness
and
thy salvation all the day; for I know not
the numbers
thereof.
16
I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness,
even
of thine only.
17
O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous
works.
18
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.
19
Thy righteousness also, O God,
is
very high, who hast done great things: O God, who
is
like unto thee!
20
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.
21
Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
22
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.
23
My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.
24
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.
CHAPTER 72
Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king’s son.
2
He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.
3
The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.
4
He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall
break in pieces the oppressor.
5
They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.
6
He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers
that
water the earth.
