| Psa. 71:1 |
In You, O Jehovah, do I take refuge; / Never let me be put to shame. |
| Psa. 71:2 |
In Your righteousness deliver me and rescue me; / Incline Your ear to me and save me. |
| Psa. 71:3 |
Be to me a rock of habitation [for me] to come to continually. / You have given command to save me, / For You are my rock and my fortress. |
| Psa. 71:4 |
My God, rescue me from the hand of the wicked, / From the hand of the unjust and cruel; |
| Psa. 71:5 |
For You are my hope, O Lord Jehovah, / My trust from my youth. |
| Psa. 71:6 |
On You I have been sustained since birth; / It was You who took me from my mother's womb; / My praise is continually of You. |
| Psa. 71:7 |
I am like a wonder to many, / But You are my strong refuge. |
| Psa. 71:8 |
My mouth is filled with Your praise, / With Your glory, all day long. |
| Psa. 71:9 |
Do not cast me off in the time of old age; / When my strength fails, do not forsake me. |
| Psa. 71:10 |
For my enemies speak concerning me, / And those who watch for my soul take counsel together, |
| Psa. 71:11 |
Saying, God has forsaken him; / Pursue and lay hold of him, for there is no one to deliver [him.] |
| Psa. 71:12 |
O God, do not be far away from me; / My God, hasten to help me. |
| Psa. 71:13 |
May those who are the adversaries to my soul / Be put to shame and consumed; / May those who seek my misfortune / Wrap themselves in reproach and humiliation. |
| Psa. 71:14 |
But I will hope continually / And will add yet more to all Your praise. |
| Psa. 71:15 |
My mouth will recount Your righteousness, / Your salvation, all day long; / For I do not know [its full] numbers. |
| Psa. 71:16 |
I will come with [the proof of] the mighty acts of the Lord Jehovah; / I will remind [men] of Your righteousness, Yours alone. |
| Psa. 71:17 |
O God, You have taught me from my youth; / And until now I have declared Your wondrous deeds. |
| Psa. 71:18 |
So even into [my] old age and grayheadedness, / O God, do not forsake me, / Until I have declared Your strength / Unto the [next] generation, / Your might unto everyone who is to come. |
| Psa. 71:19 |
And Your righteousness, O God, is so high, / You who have done great things. / O God, who is like You? |
| Psa. 71:20 |
You who have shown me / Many great troubles / Will revive me again / And bring me up again / From the depths of the earth. |
| Psa. 71:21 |
You will increase my greatness / And will turn [and] comfort me. |
| Psa. 71:22 |
I will also praise You with the harp, / [I will praise] Your faithfulness, my God; / I will sing psalms to You with the lyre, / O Holy One of Israel. |
| Psa. 71:23 |
My lips will give a ringing shout / When I sing psalms to You, / And my soul, which You have redeemed. |
| Psa. 71:24 |
My tongue also will declare / Your righteousness all day long; / For they are put to shame, for they are confounded, / They who seek my misfortune. |
