IN thee, O Lord, do 1 | put my trust:
Let me never be put to confusion.
For thou hast been my hope, O Lord | God;

Forsake me not | when my strength | faileth.
O God, be not far from me;

O my God, make | haste for my | help.

I will go in the strength of the | Lord | God; I will make mention of thy righteousness, | even | of thine only.

O God, thou hast taught me | from my youth ; And hitherto have I declared thy | wondrous | works.

Now also when I am old and grey | headed,
O God, for | sake me | not;

Until I have showed thy strength unto this gene | ration,

And thy power to every | one that | is to | come.

Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high,
Who hast done great things:

Who hast showed me | great and | sore | troubles.

Thou wilt quicken | me a | gain,

And wilt bring me up again | from the depths

Thou wilt increase my greatness,

And comfort me on every side.

My lips shall greatly rejoice, when I sing unto thee,
And my soul which thou hast redeemed.

Thou wilt guide me with thy counsel,

And afterwards receive | me to glory.

Whom have I in | heaven but | thee?

And there is none upon earth that | I de | sire bel side thee,

My flesh and my heart | faileth :

But God is the strength of my heart, and my | portion for ever,
