Psalms 71
1 In you O Yahweh I have taken refuge may not I be ashamed for ever.
By David, [a Psalm sung by] the sons of Jonadab, and the first that were taken captive. O Lord, I have hoped in thee: let me never be put to shame.
2 In righteousness your you will rescue me and you will deliver me incline to me ear your and save me.
In thy righteousness deliver me and rescue me: incline thine ear to me, and save me.
3 Become of me - a rock a dwelling place to go continually you have given command to save me for [are] rock my and stronghold my you.
Be to me a protecting God, and a strong hold to save me: for thou art my fortress and my refuge.
4 O God my deliver me from [the] hand of [the] wicked from [the] hand of [the] wrongdoer and [the] ruthless.
Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the sinner, from the hand of the transgressor and unjust man.
5 For you [are] hope my O Lord Yahweh confidence my since youth my.
For thou art my support, O Lord; O Lord, [thou art] my hope from my youth.
6 On you - I have supported myself from [the] womb from [the] inward parts of mother my you [were [the] one who] cut off me [is] in you praise my continually.
On thee have I been stayed from the womb: from the belly of my mother thou art my protector: of thee is my praise continually.
7 Like a portent I have become for many [people] and you [are] refuge of my strength.
I am become as it were a wonder to many: but thou art [my] strong helper.
8 It is filled mouth my praise your all the day splendor your.
Let my mouth be filled with praise, that I may hymn thy glory, [and] thy majesty all the day.
9 May not you cast away me to a time of old age when fails strength my may not you forsake me.
Cast me not off at the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength fails.
10 For they have spoken enemies my of me and [those who] watch of life my they have consulted together.
For mine enemies have spoken against me; and they that lay wait for my soul have taken counsel together,
11 Saying God he has forsaken him pursue and seize him for there not [is] a deliverer.
saying, God has forsaken him: persecute ye and take him; for there is none to deliver [him].
12 O God may not you be far from me O God my to help my (make haste! *Q(K)*)
O God, go not far from me, O my God, draw nigh to my help.
13 May they be ashamed may they come to an end [the] accusers of self my may they cover themselves reproach and ignominy [those who] seek harm my.
Let those that plot against my soul be ashamed and utterly fail: let those that seek my hurt be clothed with shame and dishonour.
14 And I continually I will wait and I will add to all praise your.
But I will hope continually, and will praise thee more and more.
15 Mouth my - it will recount righteousness your all the day salvation your for not I know numbers.
My mouth shall declare thy righteousness openly, [and] thy salvation all the day; for I am not acquainted with the affairs [of men].
16 I will come with [the] mighty deeds of [the] Lord Yahweh I will bring to remembrance righteousness your to alone you.
I will go on in the might of the Lord: O Lord, I will make mention of thy righteousness only.
17 O God you have taught me since youth my and until now I declare wonders your.
O God, thou hast taught me from my youth, and until now will I declare thy wonders;
18 And also until old age - and grey hair O God may not you forsake me until I will declare strength your to a generation to every [one who] he will come might your.
even until I am old and advanced in years. O God, forsake me not; until I shall have declared thine arm to all the generation that is to come:
19 And righteousness your O God [is] to [the] height who you have done great [things] O God who? [is] like you.
even thy power and thy righteousness, O God, up to the highest [heavens, even] the mighty works which thou has done: O God, who is like to thee?
20 Who (you have made see me *Q(K)*) troubles many and calamities you will return (you will preserve alive me *Q(K)*) and from [the] depths of the earth you will return you will bring up me.
What afflictions many and sore hast thou shewed me! yet thou didst turn and quicken me, and broughtest me again from the depths of the earth.
21 May you increase - greatness my and may you turn may you comfort me.
Thou didst multiply thy righteousness, and didst turn and comfort me, and broughtest me again out of the depths of the earth.
22 Also I - I will praise you with an instrument of a lyre faithfulness your O God my I will make music to you with a harp O holy [one] of Israel.
I will also therefore give thanks to thee, O God, [because of] thy truth, on an instrument of psalmody: I will sing psalms to thee on the harp, O Holy One of Israel.
23 They will sing for joy lips my if I will make music to you and self my which you have redeemed.
My lips shall rejoice when I sing to thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.
24 Also tongue my all the day it will utter righteousness your for they are ashamed for they are abashed [those who] seek harm my.
Moreover also my tongue shall dwell all the day upon thy righteousness; when they shall be ashamed and confounded that seek my hurt.
