Psalms 71

1 In you O Yahweh I have taken refuge may not I be ashamed for ever.

In you, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.

2 In righteousness your you will rescue me and you will deliver me incline to me ear your and save me.

Deliver me in your righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline your ear unto 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 you my strong habitation, unto which I may continually resort: you have given commandment to save me; for you are my rock and my fortress.

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, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.

5 For you [are] hope my O Lord Yahweh confidence my since youth my.

For you are my hope, O Lord GOD: you are my trust 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.

By you have I been held up from the womb: you are he that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise shall be continually of you.

7 Like a portent I have become for many [people] and you [are] refuge of my strength.

I am as a wonder unto many; but you are my strong refuge.

8 It is filled mouth my praise your all the day splendor your.

Let my mouth be filled with your praise and with your honour 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 in 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 speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take 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 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, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for 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 them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.

14 And I continually I will wait and I will add to all praise your.

But I will hope continually, and will yet praise you more and more.

15 Mouth my - it will recount righteousness your all the day salvation your for not I know numbers.

My mouth shall show forth your righteousness and your salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.

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 in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of your righteousness, even of your only.

17 O God you have taught me since youth my and until now I declare wonders your.

O God, you have taught me from my youth: and until now have I declared your wondrous works.

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.

Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have showed your strength unto this generation, and your power to every one 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.

Your righteousness also, O God, is very high, who have done great things: O God, who is like unto you!

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.

You, which have showed me great and sore troubles, shall restore life in me again, and shall bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

21 May you increase - greatness my and may you turn may you comfort me.

You shall increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.

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 praise you with the psaltery, even your truth, O my God: unto you will I sing with the harp, O you 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 greatly rejoice when I sing unto you; and my soul, which you have 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.

My tongue also shall talk of your righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.
