Psalter number 190. Trustful Entreaty and Praise - Psalm 71

1. In Thee, O Lord, I put my trust;

Shamed let me never be;

O save me in Thy righteousness,

Give ear, and rescue me.

2. Be Thou my rock, my dwellingplace,

Forever mine, as now;

Salvation Thou hast willed for me,

My rock and fortress, Thou.

3. Deliver me from wicked hands,

Save me from men unjust,

For Thou, Jehovah, art my hope,

From youth Thou art my trust.

4. Thou hast upheld me in Thy grace

From childhood's early days;

To Thee from Whom I life received

Will I give constant praise.
