# Psalm 71
|
||
<a id="1" name="1"></a>
|
||
1. In you, O LORD, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame!
|
||
<a id="2" name="2"></a>
|
||
2. In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me; incline your ear to me, and save me!
|
||
<a id="3" name="3"></a>
|
||
3. Be to me a rock of refuge, to which I may continually come; you have given the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.
|
||
<a id="4" name="4"></a>
|
||
4. Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man.
|
||
<a id="5" name="5"></a>
|
||
5. For you, O Lord, are my hope, my trust, O LORD, from my youth.
|
||
<a id="6" name="6"></a>
|
||
6. Upon you I have leaned from before my birth; you are he who took me from my mother’s womb. My praise is continually of you.
|
||
<a id="7" name="7"></a>
|
||
7. I have been as a portent to many, but you are my strong refuge.
|
||
<a id="8" name="8"></a>
|
||
8. My mouth is filled with your praise, and with your glory all the day.
|
||
<a id="9" name="9"></a>
|
||
9. Do not cast me off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength is spent.
|
||
<a id="10" name="10"></a>
|
||
10. For my enemies speak concerning me; those who watch for my life consult together
|
||
<a id="11" name="11"></a>
|
||
11. and say, “God has forsaken him; pursue and seize him, for there is none to deliver him.”
|
||
<a id="12" name="12"></a>
|
||
12. O God, be not far from me; O my God, make haste to help me!
|
||
<a id="13" name="13"></a>
|
||
13. May my accusers be put to shame and consumed; with scorn and disgrace may they be covered who seek my hurt.
|
||
<a id="14" name="14"></a>
|
||
14. But I will hope continually and will praise you yet more and more.
|
||
<a id="15" name="15"></a>
|
||
15. My mouth will tell of your righteous acts, of your deeds of salvation all the day, for their number is past my knowledge.
|
||
<a id="16" name="16"></a>
|
||
16. With the mighty deeds of the Lord GOD I will come; I will remind them of your righteousness, yours alone.
|
||
<a id="17" name="17"></a>
|
||
17. O God, from my youth you have taught me, and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds.
|
||
<a id="18" name="18"></a>
|
||
18. So even to old age and gray hairs, O God, do not forsake me, until I proclaim your might to another generation, your power to all those to come.
|
||
<a id="19" name="19"></a>
|
||
19. Your righteousness, O God, reaches the high heavens. You who have done great things, O God, who is like you?
|
||
<a id="20" name="20"></a>
|
||
20. You who have made me see many troubles and calamities will revive me again; from the depths of the earth you will bring me up again.
|
||
<a id="21" name="21"></a>
|
||
21. You will increase my greatness and comfort me again.
|
||
<a id="22" name="22"></a>
|
||
22. I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praises to you with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel.
|
||
<a id="23" name="23"></a>
|
||
23. My lips will shout for joy, when I sing praises to you; my soul also, which you have redeemed.
|
||
<a id="24" name="24"></a>
|
||
24. And my tongue will talk of your righteous help all the day long, for they have been put to shame and disappointed who sought to do me hurt.
