Psalms 71:14-24 Metrical Psalms 1650 (MP1650)

14. But I with expectationwill hope continually;And yet with praises more and moreI will thee magnify.

15. Thy justice and salvationmy mouth abroad shall show,Ev'n all the day; for I thereofthe numbers do not know.

16. And I will constantly go onin strength of God the Lord;And thine own righteousness, ev'n thinealone, I will record.

17. For even from my youth, O God,by thee I have been taught;And hitherto I have declar'dthe wonders thou hast wrought.

18. And now, Lord, leave me not, when Iold and gray-headed grow:Till to this age thy strength and pow'rto all to come I show.

19. And thy most perfect righteousnessO Lord, is very high,Who hast so great things done: O God,who is like unto thee?

20. Thou, Lord, who great adversities,and sore, to me didst show,Shalt quicken, and bring me againfrom depths of earth below.

21. My greatness and my pow'r thou wiltincrease, and far extend:On ev'ry side against all griefthou wilt me comfort send.

22. Thee, ev'n thy truth, I'll also praise,my God, with psaltery:Thou Holy One of Israel,with harp I'll sing to thee.

23. My lips shall much rejoice in thee,when I thy praises sound;My soul, which thou redeemed hast,in joy shall much abound.

24. My tongue thy justice shall proclaim,continuing all day long;For they confounded are, and sham'd,that seek to do me wrong.
