70:7. I am become unto many as a wonder, but thou art a strong helper. 70:8. Let my mouth be filled with praise, that I may sing thy glory; thy greatness all the day long. 70:9. Cast me not off in the time of old age: when my strength shall fail, do not thou forsake me. 70:10. For my enemies have spoken against me; and they that watched my soul have consulted together, 70:11. Saying: God hath forsaken him: pursue and take him, for there is none to deliver him. 70:12. O God, be not thou far from me: O my God, make haste to my help. 70:13. Let them be confounded and come to nothing that detract my soul; let them be covered with confusion and blame that seek my hurt. 70:14. But I will always hope; and will add to all thy praise. 70:15. My mouth shall shew forth thy justice; thy salvation all the day long. Because I have not known learning, Learning... As much as to say, I build not upon human learning, but only on the power and justice of God. 70:16. I will enter into the powers of the Lord: O Lord, I will be mindful of thy justice alone. 70:17. Thou hast taught me, O God, from my youth: and till now I will declare thy wonderful works. 70:18. And unto old age and grey hairs: O God, forsake me not, Until I shew forth thy arm to all the generation that is to come: Thy power, 70:19. And thy justice, O God, even to the highest great things thou hast done: O God, who is like to thee? 70:20. How great troubles hast thou shewn me, many and grievous: and turning thou hast brought me to life, and hast brought me back again from the depths of the earth: 70:21. Thou hast multiplied thy magnificence; and turning to me thou hast comforted me. 70:22. For I will also confess to thee thy truth with the instruments of psaltery: O God, I will sing to thee with the harp, thou holy one of Israel. 70:23. My lips shall greatly rejoice, when I shall sing to thee; and my soul which thou hast redeemed. 70:24. Yea and my tongue shall meditate on thy justice all the day; when they shall be confounded and put to shame that seek evils to me. Psalms Chapter 71 Deus, judicium tuum. A prophecy of the coming of Christ, and of his kingdom: prefigured by Solomon and his happy reign. 71:1. A psalm on Solomon. 71:2. Give to the king thy judgment, O God, and to the king's son thy justice: To judge thy people with justice, and thy poor with judgment. 71:3. Let the mountains receive peace for the people: and the hills justice. 71:4. He shall judge the poor of the people, and he shall save the children of the poor: and he shall humble the oppressor. 71:5. And he shall continue with the sun and before the moon, throughout all generations. 71:6. He shall come down like rain upon the fleece; and as showers falling gently upon the earth. 71:7. In his days shall justice spring up, and abundance of peace, till the moon be taken away. 71:8. And he shall rule from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
