Psalms 70
| 1 | [[To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David, to bring to remembrance.]] [Make haste], O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD. |
| 2 | Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt. |
| 3 | Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha. |
| 4 | Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified. |
| 5 | But I [am] poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou [art] my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying. |
Psalms 71
| 1 | In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion. |
| 2 | Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me. |
| 3 | Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou [art] my rock and my fortress. |
| 4 | Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. |
| 5 | For thou [art] my hope, O Lord GOD: [thou art] my trust from my youth. |
| 6 | By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise [shall be] continually of thee. |
| 7 | I am as a wonder unto many; but thou [art] my strong refuge. |
| 8 | Let my mouth be filled [with] thy praise [and with] thy honour all the day. |
| 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 grayheaded, 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. |
Psalms 72
| 1 | [[[A Psalm] for Solomon.]] 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. |
| 7 | In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth. |
| 8 | He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth. |
| 9 | They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust. |
| 10 | The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. |
| 11 | Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him. |
| 12 | For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and [him] that hath no helper. |
| 13 | He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy. |
| 14 | He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight. |
| 15 | And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; [and] daily shall he be praised. |
| 16 | There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and [they] of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth. |
| 17 | His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and [men] shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed. |
| 18 | Blessed [be] the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things. |
| 19 | And blessed [be] his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled [with] his glory; Amen, and Amen. |
| 20 | The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended. |
Psalms 73
| 1 | [[A Psalm of Asaph.]] Truly God [is] good to Israel, [even] to such as are of a clean heart. |
| 2 | But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped. |
| 3 | For I was envious at the foolish, [when] I saw the prosperity of the wicked. |
| 4 | For [there are] no bands in their death: but their strength [is] firm. |
| 5 | They [are] not in trouble [as other] men; neither are they plagued like [other] men. |
| 6 | Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them [as] a garment. |
| 7 | Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish. |
| 8 | They are corrupt, and speak wickedly [concerning] oppression: they speak loftily. |
| 9 | They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth. |
| 10 | Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full [cup] are wrung out to them. |
| 11 | And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High? |
| 12 | Behold, these [are] the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase [in] riches. |
| 13 | Verily I have cleansed my heart [in] vain, and washed my hands in innocency. |
| 14 | For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning. |
| 15 | If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend [against] the generation of thy children. |
| 16 | When I thought to know this, it [was] too painful for me; |
| 17 | Until I went into the sanctuary of God; [then] understood I their end. |
| 18 | Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction. |
| 19 | How are they [brought] into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors. |
| 20 | As a dream when [one] awaketh; [so], O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image. |
| 21 | Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins. |
| 22 | So foolish [was] I, and ignorant: I was [as] a beast before thee. |
| 23 | Nevertheless I [am] continually with thee: thou hast holden [me] by my right hand. |
| 24 | Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me [to] glory. |
| 25 | Whom have I in heaven [but thee]? and [there is] none upon earth [that] I desire beside thee. |
| 26 | My flesh and my heart faileth: [but] God [is] the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. |
| 27 | For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee. |
| 28 | But [it is] good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works. |
