| 71:1 | In thee, O Lord, doe I put my trust, let me neuer be put to confusion. |
| 71:2 | Deliuer mee in thy righteousnesse, and cause me to escape: incline thine eare vnto me, and saue me. |
| 71:3 | Bee thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast giuen commandement to saue mee, for thou art my rocke, and my fortresse. |
| 71:4 | Deliuer me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the vnrighteous, and cruel man. |
| 71:5 | For thou art my hope, O Lord God: thou art my trust from my youth. |
| 71:6 | By thee haue I bene holden vp from the wombe: thou art hee that tooke mee out of my mothers vowels, my praise shalbe continually of thee. |
| 71:7 | I am as a wonder vnto many, but thou art my strong refuge. |
| 71:8 | Let my mouth bee filled with thy praise, and with thy honour all the day. |
| 71:9 | Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth. |
| 71:10 | For mine enemies speake against mee: and they that lay waite for my soule, take counsell together, |
| 71:11 | Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him, for there is none to deliuer him. |
| 71:12 | O God, be not farre from mee: O my God, make haste for my helpe. |
| 71:13 | Let them be confounded and consumed, that are aduersaries to my soule: let them bee couered with reproch and dishonour, that seeke my hurt. |
| 71:14 | But I wil hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more. |
| 71:15 | My mouth shall shew foorth thy righteousnesse, and thy saluation all the day: for I know not the numbers thereof. |
| 71:16 | I will goe in the strength of the Lord God: I will make mention of thy righteousnesse, euen of thine onely. |
| 71:17 | O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto haue I declared thy wonderous workes. |
| 71:18 | Now also when I am old and gray headed, O God, forsake me not: vntill I haue shewed thy strength vnto this generation, and thy power to euery one that is to come. |
| 71:19 | Thy righteousnes also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like vnto thee? |
| 71:20 | Thou which hast shewed mee great, and sore troubles, shalt quicken mee againe, and shalt bring mee vp againe from the depthes of the earth. |
| 71:21 | Thou shalt increase my greatnesse, and comfort me on euery side. |
| 71:22 | I will also praise thee with the psalterie, euen thy trueth, O my God: vnto thee will I sing with the harpe, O thou Holy one of Israel. |
| 71:23 | My lippes shall greatly reioyce when I sing vnto thee: and my soule, which thou hast redeemed. |
| 71:24 | My tongue also shall talke of thy righteousnesse all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought vnto shame, that seeke my hurt. |
King James Bible 1611
The commissioning of the King James Bible took place at a conference at the Hampton Court Palace in London England in 1604. When King James came to the throne he wanted unity and stability in the church and state, but was well aware that the diversity of his constituents had to be considered. There were the Papists who longed for the English church to return to the Roman Catholic fold and the Latin Vulgate. There were Puritans, loyal to the crown but wanting even more distance from Rome. The Puritans used the Geneva Bible which contained footnotes that the king regarded as seditious. The Traditionalists made up of Bishops of the Anglican Church wanted to retain the Bishops Bible.
The king commissioned a new English translation to be made by over fifty scholars representing the Puritans and Traditionalists. They took into consideration: the Tyndale New Testament, the Matthews Bible, the Great Bible and the Geneva Bible. The great revision of the Bible had begun. From 1605 to 1606 the scholars engaged in private research. From 1607 to 1609 the work was assembled. In 1610 the work went to press, and in 1611 the first of the huge (16 inch tall) pulpit folios known today as "The 1611 King James Bible" came off the printing press.
