Psalm 71:2

Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

And let me, in thy righteousness, from thee deliv'rance have; Cause me escape, incline thine ear unto me, and me save.

See the chapter Copy

In thee, O Lord, I put my trust, sham'd let me never be; According to thy righteousness do thou deliver me.

I called have on thee, O God, because thou wilt me hear: That thou may'st hearken to my speech, to me incline thine ear.

Revive and quicken me, O Lord, ev'n for thine own name's sake; And do thou, for thy righteousness, my soul from trouble take.

Lord, hear my pray'r, attend my suits; and in thy faithfulness Give thou an answer unto me, and in thy righteousness.

Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against th' ungodly nation; From the unjust and crafty man, O be thou my salvation.

God's eyes are on the just; his ears are open to their cry.

And from before thy presence forth my sentence do thou send: Toward these things that equal are do thou thine eyes intend.

Bow down thine ear to me, with speed send me deliverance: To save me, my strong rock be thou, and my house of defence.
