Psalms 71

1In thee, Jehovah, do I trust: let me never be ashamedH954.2DeliverH5337 me in thy righteousnessH6666, and rescueH5337 me; inclineH5186 thine earH241 unto me, and saveH3467 me.3BeH1961 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.4My 1GodH430, rescue me 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, my confidenceH4009 from my youthH5271.6On thee have I been stayed from the wombH990; from the bowelsH4578 of my motherH517 thou didst draw me forth: my praiseH8416 shall be continuallyH8548 of thee.7I have beenH1961 as a wonderH4159 unto manyH7227; but thou art my strong refugeH4268.8My mouthH6310 shall be filledH4390 with thy praiseH8416, with thy gloryH8597, all the dayH3117.9CastH7993 me not off in the timeH6256 of oldH2209 ageH2209; forsakeH5800 me not when my strengthH3581 faileth.10For mine enemiesH341 speak against me, and they that watchH8104 for my soulH5315 consultH3289 togetherH3162,11SayingH559, 2GodH430 hath forsaken him; pursueH7291 and seizeH8610 him, for there is none to deliverH5337.12O 3GodH430, be not farH7368 from me; my 4GodH430, hasten to my helpH5833.13Let them be ashamedH954, let them be consumed, that are adversaries to my soulH5315; let them be covered with reproachH2781 and dishonour that seekH1245 my hurt.14But as for me, I will hopeH3176 continuallyH8548, and will praiseH8416 thee yet more and more.15My mouthH6310 shall declare thy righteousnessH6666, [and] thy salvationH8668 all the dayH3117: for I knowH3045 not the numbers [thereof].16I will goH935 in the might of the LordH136 Jehovah; I will recall thy righteousnessH6666, thine aloneH905.17O 5GodH430, thou hast taughtH3925 me from my youthH5271, and hitherto have I proclaimed thy marvellous works:18Now alsoH1571, when I am oldH7872 and greyheaded, O 6GodH430, forsakeH5800 me not, until I have proclaimed thine armH2220 unto [this] generationH1755, thy might to every one that is to comeH935.19And thy righteousnessH6666, O 7GodH430, reacheth on highH4791, thou who hast done greatH1419 thingsH1419: O 8GodH430, who is like unto thee?20Thou, who hast shewn us manyH7227 and sore troubles, wilt revive us again, and wilt bringH7725 us up again from the depthsH8415 of the earthH776;21Thou wilt increaseH7235 my greatnessH1420, and comfortH5162 me on every side.22I will alsoH1571 praiseH3034 thee with the psaltery, even thy truthH571, my 9GodH430; unto thee will I singH2167 psalms with the harpH3658, thou holyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.23My lipsH8193 shall exult when I singH2167 psalms unto thee; and my soulH5315, which thou hast redeemedH6299.24My tongueH3956 alsoH1571 shall talk of thy righteousnessH6666 all the dayH3117; for they shall be ashamedH954, for they shall be brought to confusion, that seekH1245 my hurt.
