Psalms 70 — ENGLXXUP

70 By David, a Psalm sung by the sons of Jonadab, and the first that were taken captive. ² In thy righteousness deliver me and rescue me: ³ Be to me a protecting God, ⁴ Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the sinner, ⁵ For thou art my support, O Lord; ⁶ On thee have I been stayed from the womb: ⁷ I am become as it were a wonder to many; ⁸ Let my mouth be filled with praise, ⁹ Cast me not off at the time of old age; ¹⁰ For mine enemies have spoken against me; ¹¹ Saying, God has forsaken him: ¹² O God, go not far from me, ¹³ Let those that plot against my soul be ashamed and utterly fail: ¹⁴ But I will hope continually, ¹⁵ My mouth shall declare thy righteousness openly, ¹⁶ I will go on in the might of the Lord: ¹⁷ O God, thou hast taught me from my youth, ¹⁸ Even until I am old and advanced in years. O God, forsake me not; ¹⁹ Even thy power and thy righteousness, ²⁰ What afflictions many and sore hast thou shown me! ²¹ Thou didst multiply thy righteousness, ²² I will also therefore give thanks to thee, O God, because of thy truth, on an instrument of psalmody: ²³ My lips shall rejoice when I sing to thee; ²⁴ Moreover also my tongue shall dwell all the day upon thy righteousness;
