Psalms 70
[1] 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] 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.
