< Psalms 71 >
1 In you O Yahweh I have taken refuge may not I be ashamed for ever.
In thee, O LORD! do I put my trust! 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 goodness deliver 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 thou the rock of my abode, where I may continually resort! Thou hast granted me deliverance; For thou art 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.
Save me, O my God! from the hand of the wicked, -From the hand of the unjust and cruel!
5 For you [are] hope my O Lord Yahweh confidence my since youth my.
For thou art my hope, O Lord Jehovah! Thou hast been 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.
Upon thee have I leaned from my birth; From my earliest breath thou hast been my support; My song hath been continually of thee!
7 Like a portent I have become for many [people] and you [are] refuge of my strength.
I am a wonder to many, But thou art my strong refuge.
8 It is filled mouth my praise your all the day splendor your.
Let my mouth be filled with thy praise; Yea, all the day long, with thy glory.
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 mine old age; Forsake me not, When my strength faileth!
10 For they have spoken enemies my of me and [those who] watch of life my they have consulted together.
For my enemies speak against me, And they who lay wait for my life consult together:
11 Saying God he has forsaken him pursue and seize him for there not [is] a deliverer.
“God,” say they, “hath forsaken him; Pursue and seize him; for he hath 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! Come speedily to mine aid, O my God!
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 perish with shame who are my enemies; Let them be covered with contempt and dishonor who seek my hurt!
14 And I continually I will wait and I will add to all praise your.
But I will hope continually; I shall yet 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 speak of thy goodness, —Of thy sure protection all the day long; For thy mercies are more than I can number.
16 I will come with [the] mighty deeds of [the] Lord Yahweh I will bring to remembrance righteousness your to alone you.
I will celebrate thy mighty deeds, O Lord Jehovah! I will make mention of thy goodness, of thine 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 thus far have I declared thy wondrous deeds;
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.
And now, when I am old and gray-headed, O God! forsake me not, Until I make known thine arm to the next generation, -Thy mighty power to all that are to come!
19 And righteousness your O God [is] to [the] height who you have done great [things] O God who? [is] like you.
For thy goodness, O God! reacheth to the heavens; Wonderful things doest thou! O God! who is like unto 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.
Thou hast suffered us to see great and grievous troubles; Thou wilt again give us life, And wilt bring us back from the depths of the earth!
21 May you increase - greatness my and may you turn may you comfort me.
Thou wilt increase my greatness; Thou wilt again comfort me!
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.
Then will I praise thee with the psaltery; Even thy faithfulness, O my God! To thee will I sing with 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 from death;
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 continually speak of thy righteousness: For all who seek my hurt are brought to shame and confounded.
