Psalms 71 — Context

For my haters are waiting secretly for me; and those who are watching for my soul are banded together in their evil designs,

Saying, God has given him up; go after him and take him, for he has no helper.

O God, be not far from me; O my God, come quickly to my help.

Let those who say evil against my soul be overcome and put to shame; let my haters be made low and have no honour.

But I will go on ever hoping, and increasing in all your praise.

My mouth will make clear your righteousness and your salvation all the day; for they are more than may be measured.

I will give news of the great acts of the Lord God; my words will be of your righteousness, and of yours only.
