    {Psa 1-2, 10, 33, 71, 91 ^**}

    ^71:1 I take refuge in you, O Jehovah. Do not let me be put to shame everlasting. ^71:2 Deliver me in your righteousness and rescue me. Bow down your ear to me and save me. ^71:3 Be to me a rock of dwelling to which I may continually resort. You have given commandment to save me, because you are my rock and my fortress.

    ^71:4 Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of a wicked man, out of the hand of an unrighteous and cruel man.

    ^71:5 Because you are my hope, O Lord Jehovah, my trust from my youth. ^71:6 I have been held up by you from the womb. You are he who took me out of my mother's guts. My praise will be continually of you.

    ^71:7 I am as a wonder to many, but you are my strong refuge. ^71:8 My mouth will be filled with your praise and with your honor all the day.

    ^71:9 Do not cast me off in the time of old age. Forsake me not when my strength fails.

    ^71:10 Because my enemies speak concerning me and those who watch for my soul take counsel together,^71:11 saying, God has forsaken him. Pursue and take him, because there is none to deliver.

    ^71:12 O God, do not be far from me. O my God, make haste to help me. ^71:13 Let them be put to shame and be consumed who are adversaries to my soul. Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor who seek my hurt.

    ^71:14 But I will hope continually and will praise you yet more and more. ^71:15 My mouth will tell of your righteousness, of your salvation all the day, because I do not know the numbers.

    ^71:16 I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord Jehovah. I will make mention of your righteousness, yours only!

    ^71:17 O God, you have taught me from my youth and I have declared your wondrous works until now.

    ^71:18 Yes, even when I am old and gray headed, O God, forsake me not, until I have declared your strength to a generation, your might to everyone who is to come.

    ^71:19 Your righteousness also, O God, is very high, you who have done great things. O God, who is like you? ^71:20 You, who have shown us many and great troubles, will revive us again and will bring us up again from the depths of the earth. ^71:21 Increase my greatness and turn again and comfort me.

    ^71:22 I will also praise you with the psaltery, even your truth, O my God. I will sing praises to you with the harp, O you Holy One of Israel. ^71:23 My lips will shout for joy because I sing praises to you and my soul, which you have redeemed.

    ^71:24 My tongue also will talk of your righteousness all the day long. Because they are put to shame, because they are confounded, who seek my hurt.
