In Thee, O Lord, I Put My Trust (71)

In Thee

O Lord

I put my trust;

Shamed let me nev­er be;

O save me in Thy right­eous­ness

Give ear

and res­cue me.

Be Thou my rock

my dwell­ing place

Forever mine

as now;

Salvation Thou hast willed for me

My rock and fort­ress

Thou.

Deliver me from wick­ed hands

Save me from men un­just

For Thou

Je­ho­vah

art my hope

From youth Thou art my trust.

Thou hast up­held me in Thy grace

From child­hood’s ear­ly days;

To Thee from whom I life re­ceived

Will I give con­stant praise.

Though trou­bles great o’er­sha­dow me

Thou art my re­fuge strong

My mouth shall praise Thee all the day

Thine hon­or be my song.

Cast me not off when hoa­ry age

Becomes my wea­ry lot

And in the days of fail­ing strength

Do Thou for­sake me not.

My foes are strong and con­fi­dent

For I to them ap­pear

As one for­sak­en by his God

With none to help me near.

My God

be Thou not far from me

Make haste to hear my call;

Ashamed

con­sumed be all my foes

Dishonored let them fall.

But I will ev­er hope in Thee

My cease­less praise is Thine;

I will de­clare Thy count­less deeds

Of truth and grace di­vine.

Yea

I will tell the migh­ty acts

Performed by God the Lord;

Thy right­eous­ness and Thine alone

With praise I will re­cord.
