Psalms 71
- 1In you, O Lord, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.
- 2Deliver me in your righteousness, and cause me to escape: listen closely to me, and save me.
- 3Be my strong home, to which I may continually resort: you have given commandment to save me. For you are my rock and my fortress.
- 4Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
- 5For you are my hope, O Lord God: you are my trust from my youth.
- 6By you have I been held up from the womb: you are he who took me out of my mother's womb: my praise shall be continually of you.
- 7I am as a wonder to many. But you are my strong refuge.
- 8Let my mouth be filled with your praise and with your honor all the day.
- 9Cast me not off in the time of old age, do not abandon me when my strength fails.
- 10For my enemies speak against me. Those who lay wait for my soul take counsel together,
- 11Saying, God has abandoned him: persecute and take him. For there is none to deliver him.
- 12O God, do not be far from me: O my God, hurry for my help.
- 13Let them be put to shame and consumed that are enemies to my soul. Let them be covered with disgrace and dishonor that seek my hurt.
- 14But I will hope continually, and will yet praise you more and more.
- 15My mouth shall tell of your righteousness and your salvation all the day. For I do not know its numbers.
- 16I will go in the strength of the Lord God: I will make mention of your righteousness, of yours alone.
- 17O God, you have taught me from my youth: and until now I have declared your wonderful works.
- 18Now also when I am old and gray-haired, O God, do not abandon me. Until I have showed your strength to this generation, and your power to every one that is to come.
- 19Your righteousness also, O God, is very high, who have done great things: O God, who is like to you!
- 20You, who have shown me great and severe troubles, shall give life to me again, and shall bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
- 21You shall increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
- 22I will also praise you with the harp, even your truth, O my God: to you I will sing with the lyre, O you Holy One of Israel.
- 23My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing to you. My soul, which you have redeemed, shall rejoice too.
- 24My tongue also shall talk of your righteousness all the day long. For they are disgraced, they are brought to shame, that seek my hurt.
