Psalms 71

¹In you, O LORD, I have put my trust and confidently taken refuge; Let me never be[1] put to shame.

²In Your righteousness deliver me and rescue me; Incline Your ear to me and save me.

³Be to me a rock of refuge and a sheltering stronghold to which I may continually come; You have given the commandment to save me, For You are my rock and my fortress.

⁴Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked (godless), From the grasp of the unrighteous and ruthless man.

⁵For You are my hope; O Lord GOD, You are my trust and the source of my confidence from my youth.

⁶Upon You have I relied and been sustained from my birth; You are He who took me from my mother's womb and You have been my benefactor from that day. My praise is continually of You.

⁷I am as a wonder to many, For You are my strong refuge.

⁸My mouth is filled with Your praise And with Your glory all day long.

⁹Do not cast me off nor send me away in the time of old age; Do not abandon me when my strength fails and I am weak.

¹⁰For my enemies have spoken against me; Those who watch for my life have consulted together,

¹¹Saying, "God has abandoned him; Pursue and seize him, for there is no one to rescue him."

¹²O God, do not be far from me; O my God, come quickly to help me!

¹³Let those who attack my life be ashamed and consumed; Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor, who seek to injure me.

¹⁴But as for me, I will wait and hope continually, And will praise You yet more and more.

¹⁵My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness And of Your [deeds of] salvation all day long, For their number is more than I know.

¹⁶I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord GOD [and in His strength]; I will make mention of Your righteousness, Yours alone.

¹⁷O God, You have taught me from my youth, And I still declare Your wondrous works and miraculous deeds.

¹⁸And even when I am old and gray-headed, O God, do not abandon me, Until I declare Your [mighty] strength to this generation, Your power to all who are to come.

¹⁹Your righteousness, O God, reaches to the [height of the] heavens, You who have done great things; O God, who is like You, [who is Your equal]?

²⁰You who have shown[2] me many troubles and distresses Will revive and renew me again, And will bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

²¹May You increase my greatness (honor) And turn to comfort me.

²²I will also praise You with the harp, Your truth and faithfulness, O my God; To You I will sing praises with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel.

²³My lips will shout for joy when I sing praises to You, And my soul, which You have redeemed.

²⁴My tongue also will speak of Your righteousness all day long; For they are ashamed, for they are humiliated who seek my injury.
