Psalms 70 — ENGLXXUP

70 Verse 1 By David, a Psalm sung by the sons of Jonadab, and the first that were taken captive. ^{Verse 2} In thy righteousness deliver me and rescue me: ^{Verse 3} Be to me a protecting God, ^{Verse 4} Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the sinner, ^{Verse 5} For thou art my support, O Lord; ^{Verse 6} On thee have I been stayed from the womb: ^{Verse 7} I am become as it were a wonder to many; ^{Verse 8} Let my mouth be filled with praise, ^{Verse 9} Cast me not off at the time of old age; ^{Verse 10} For mine enemies have spoken against me; ^{Verse 11} Saying, God has forsaken him: ^{Verse 12} O God, go not far from me, ^{Verse 13} Let those that plot against my soul be ashamed and utterly fail: ^{Verse 14} But I will hope continually, ^{Verse 15} My mouth shall declare thy righteousness openly, ^{Verse 16} I will go on in the might of the Lord: ^{Verse 17} O God, thou hast taught me from my youth, ^{Verse 18} Even until I am old and advanced in years. O God, forsake me not; ^{Verse 19} Even thy power and thy righteousness, ^{Verse 20} What afflictions many and sore hast thou shown me! ^{Verse 21} Thou didst multiply thy righteousness, ^{Verse 22} I will also therefore give thanks to thee, O God, because of thy truth, on an instrument of psalmody: ^{Verse 23} My lips shall rejoice when I sing to thee; ^{Verse 24} Moreover also my tongue shall dwell all the day upon thy righteousness;
