Sanctuary

1 ^(A)In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be ashamed. 

2 ^(B)In Your righteousness deliver me and rescue me; ^(C)Incline Your ear to me and save me. 

3 ^(D)Be to me a Rock of ^(E)habitation to which I may continually come; You have given ^(F)commandment to save me, for You are ^(G)my rock and my fortress. 

4 ^(H)Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the grasp of the wrongdoer and ruthless man, 5 for You are my ^(I)hope; O Lord GOD, You are my ^(J)confidence from my youth. 

6 By You I have been ^(K)sustained from my birth; You are He who ^(L)took me from my mother's womb; my ^(M)praise is continually of You. 

7 I have become a ^(N)marvel to many, for You are ^(O)my strong refuge. 

8 My ^(P)mouth is filled with Your praise and with ^(Q)Your glory all day long. 

9 Do not cast me off in the ^(R)time of old age; do not forsake me when my strength fails. 

10 For my enemies have spoken against me; and those who ^(S)watch for my life ^(T)have consulted together, 11 saying, "^(U)God has forsaken him; pursue and seize him, for there is ^(V)no one to deliver." 

12 O God, ^(W)do not be far from me; o my God, ^(X)hasten to my help! 

13 Let those who are adversaries of my soul be ^(Y)ashamed and consumed; let them be ^(Z)covered with reproach and dishonor, who ^(AA)seek to injure me. 

14 But as for me, I will ^(AB)hope continually, and will ^(AC)praise You yet more and more. 

15 My ^(AD)mouth shall tell of Your righteousness and of ^(AE)Your salvation all day long; for I ^(AF)do not know the sum of them. 

16 I will come ^(AG)with the mighty deeds of the Lord GOD; I will ^(AH)make mention of Your righteousness, Yours alone.

-Psalm 71:1-16
