Old Testament

New Testament

Psalm 71:8-17 American Standard Version (ASV)

8. My mouth shall be filled with thy praise, And with thy honor 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 concerning me; And they that watch for my soul take counsel together,

11. Saying, God hath forsaken him: Pursue and take him; for there is none to deliver.

12. O God, be not far from me; O my God, make haste to help me.

13. Let them be put to shame and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor that seek my hurt.

14. But I will hope continually, And will praise thee yet more and more.

15. My mouth shall tell of thy righteousness, And of thy salvation all the day; For I know not the numbers thereof.

16. I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord Jehovah: 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.
