Psalms 71

1In thee, O Jehovah, do I takeH2620 refugeH2620: Let me never be putH954 to shameH954.2DeliverH5337 me in thy righteousnessH6666, and rescueH5337 me: Bow downH5186 thine earH241 unto me, and saveH3467 me.3BeH1961 thou to me a rockH6697 of habitationH4583, whereunto I may continuallyH8548 resort: Thou hast given commandment to saveH3467 me; For thou art my rockH6697 and my fortress.4Rescue me, O my GodH430, out of the handH3027 of the wickedH7563, Out of the handH3027 of the unrighteous and cruel man.5For thou art my hopeH8615, O LordH136 Jehovah: Thou artmy trustH4009 from my youthH5271.6By thee have I been holden up from the wombH990; Thou art he that took me out of my mother’sH517 bowelsH4578: My praiseH8416 shall be continuallyH8548 of thee.7I amH1961 as a wonderH4159 unto manyH7227; But thou art my strong refugeH4268.8My mouthH6310 shall be filledH4390 with thy praiseH8416, And with thy honorH8597 all the dayH3117.9CastH7993 me not off in the timeH6256 of oldH2209 ageH2209; ForsakeH5800 me not when my strengthH3581 faileth.10For mine enemiesH341 speak concerning me; And they that watchH8104 for my soulH5315 takeH8104 counselH3289 togetherH3162,11SayingH559, GodH430 hath forsaken him: PursueH7291 and take him; for there is none to deliverH5337.12O GodH430, be not farH7368 from me; O my GodH430, make haste to helpH5833 me.13Let them be putH954 to shameH954andconsumed that are adversaries to my soulH5315; Let them be covered with reproachH2781 and dishonor that seekH1245 my hurt.14But I will hopeH3176 continuallyH8548, And will praiseH8416 thee yet more and more.15My mouthH6310 shall tell of thy righteousnessH6666, Andof thy salvationH8668 all the dayH3117; For I knowH3045 not the numbers thereof.16I will comeH935 with the mightyH1369 acts of the LordH136 Jehovah: I will makeH2142 mention of thy righteousnessH6666, even of thine onlyH905.17O GodH430, thou hast taughtH3925 me from my youthH5271; And hitherto have I declaredH5046 thy wondrous works.18Yea, even when I am oldH7872 and grayheaded, O GodH430, forsakeH5800 me not, Until I have declaredH5046 thy strengthH1369 unto the next generationH1755, Thy might to every one that is to comeH935.19Thy righteousnessH6666 also, O GodH430, is very highH4791; Thou who hast done greatH1419 thingsH1419, O GodH430, who is like unto thee?20Thou, who hast showedH7200 us manyH7227 and sore troubles, Wilt quicken us again, And wilt bringH7725 us up again from the depthsH8415 of the earthH776.21IncreaseH7235 thou my greatnessH1420, And turnH5437 again and comfortH5162 me.22I will alsoH1571 praiseH3034 thee with the psaltery, Even thy truthH571, O my GodH430: Unto thee will I singH2167 praisesH2167 with the harpH3658, O thou HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.23My lipsH8193 shall shoutH7442 for joyH7442 when I singH2167 praisesH2167 unto thee; And my soulH5315, which thou hast redeemedH6299.24My tongueH3956 alsoH1571 shall talk of thy righteousnessH6666 all the dayH3117 long; For they are putH954 to shameH954, for they are confounded, that seekH1245 my hurt.
