THE PSALMS of DAVID, PSALM LXXI

In Thee, O Lord, I place my Trust; Me never put to Shame. Hear, save, and cause me to escape, For righteous is thy Name. Be thou my dwelling Place most strong, Where I may still resort; Thy promis'd Safety, Lord, I plead, Thou art my Rock, and Fort. Save me, O God, from wicked Hands, The cruel, and unjust. For thou, Lord, God, hast been my Hope, And, from my Youth, my Trust. By Thee, I've always been sustain'd, From my most early Days; Thou took'st me from my Mother's Womb; I'll ever sing thy Praise. To many, I'm a Wonder grown; But on thy Strength I stay. Let, with thy Praise, my Mouth be fill'd, And Honour all the Day.
