Psalm 71

In you O lord I put my trust
When you put me to the test
You took me from my mother's womb
You are my Rock and strong fortress

My praise shall ever be of you
You've upheld me since my youth
My mouth is filled with your glorious praise
I gird up my loins with truth

When I am weak uphold me Lord
Some say I've been forsaken
O God do not be far from me
Arise my God, awaken!

O God who is like unto you?
May I praise you and never complain
Raise me up from my despair
O Lord, revive me again
