Let thy salvation, O God, set me on high. 30 I will praise the name of God with a song, And will magnify him with thanksgiving. 31 32 This also shall please Jehovah better than an ox, Or a bullock, with horns and* hoofs. The lowly shall see this, and* be glad ; 33 For Jehovah heareth the needy, And despiseth not his prisoners. 34 Let heaven and earth praise him, The seas, and everything that creepeth therein; 35 For God will save Zion, And build the cities of Judah, And they shall dwell there, and possess it ; 36 And the seed of his servants shall inherit it, And those that love his name shall dwell therein. PSALM LXX.b For the chief Musician. By David. To bring to remem 1 brance. BE pleased, O God, to deliver me: a Ps. cii. 28. b Ps. xl. 13-17. 2 Let those be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul; Let those be turned back and put to confusion that delight in evil for me. 3 Let those be turned back to their shame That say, "Ha! Ha!" 4 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: And let those that love thy salvation say continually, "Let God be magnified." 5 But, as for me, I am afflicted and needy; make haste unto me, O God. Thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O Jehovah. PSALM LXXI. 1 IN thee, O Jehovah, do I take refuge : Let me never be ashamed. 2 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: Incline thine ear unto me, and save me. 3 Be to me a rock for a habitation, to which I may continually go. Thou wilt give commandment to save me; 4 5 For thou art my rock and my fortress." Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked one, Out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel one; For thou art my hope, O my Lord Jehovah ; Thou art my trust from my youth. 6 By thee have I been upheld from the womb; From my mother's bowels thou hast been my refuge : My praise shall be continually of thee. b 7 I am as a sign unto many; But thou art my strong refuge. 8 My mouth shall be filled with thy praise 9 10 11 And with thy glory, all the day. Cast me not off in the time of old age, Forsake me not when my strength faileth; And those that lie in wait for my soul consult Saying, "God hath forsaken him : "Pursue 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. a Ps. xxxi. 1-3. b Ezek. xiv. 8; Deut. xxviii. 45, 46; Isa. liii. 4. Ꮮ 13 Let those be ashamed and consumed that are the adversaries of my soul; Let those be covered with reproach and confusion, that seek evil for me. 14 But as for me, I will hope continually, And still add to all thy praise. 15 My mouth shall declare thy righteousness And thy salvation all the day; For I know not the numbers thereof. 16 I will bring forth the mighty acts of my Lord Jehovah : I will make mention of thy righteousness, of thine only. 17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth, And hitherto have I showed forth thy wonder ful works ;. 8 Also, to old age and grey hairs, 19 Forsake me not, O God, Until I have showed forth thine arm unto this generation, And thy might to every one that is to come. Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, Thou, who doest great things: O God, who is like unto thee ! 20 Thou, who hast showed me* many and sore troubles, Wilt restore me* to life again, And bring me up again from the depths of the earth.a 21 Thou wilt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side. 22 And as for me, I will give thee thanks with the lyre, Even on account of thy truth, O my God; I will sing praises to thee with the harp, 23 My lips shall shout for joy when I sing praises to thee, And my soul which thou hast redeemed. 24 Yea, my tongue shall talk of thy righteousness all the day;" Because they are ashamed, because they are confounded, even those that sought evil for me. PSALM LXXII. By Solomon. 1 GIVE the King thy judgments, O God, And thy righteousness unto the King's son. a Ps. xxx. 3. b Ps. xxxv. 28. |
