Psalms 71

Prayer of an Old Man for Deliverance.

11In You, O LordH3068, I have takenH2620 refugeH2620; Let me neverH408H5769 be ashamedH954.22In Your righteousnessH6666 deliverH5337 me and rescueH6403 me; 3InclineH5186 Your earH241 to me and saveH3467 me.34Be to me a rockH6697 of 5habitationH4583 to which I may continuallyH8548 comeH935; You have givenH6680 6commandmentH6680 to saveH3467 me, For You are 7my 8rockH5553 and my fortressH4686.49RescueH6403 me, O my GodH430, out of the handH3027 of the wickedH7563, Out of the 10graspH3709 of the wrongdoerH5765 and ruthlessH2556 manH2556,5For You are my 11hopeH8615; O LordH136 12GodH3068, You are my 13confidenceH4009 from my youthH5271.614By You I have been 15sustainedH5564 from my birthH990; You are He who 16tookH1491 me from my mother’sH517 wombH990; My 17praiseH8416 is continuallyH8548 18of You.

7I have becomeH1961 a 19marvelH4159 to manyH7227, For You are 20my strongH5797 refugeH4268.8My 21mouthH6310 is filledH4390 with Your praiseH8416 And with 22Your gloryH8597 allH3605 dayH3117 long.9Do not castH7993 me offH7993 in the 23timeH6256 of oldH2209 ageH2209; Do not forsakeH5800 me when my strengthH3581 failsH3615.10For my enemiesH340 have spokenH559 24against me; And those who 25watchH8104 for my 26lifeH5315 27have consultedH3289 togetherH3164,11SayingH559, “28GodH430 has forsakenH5800 him; PursueH7291 and seizeH8610 him, for thereH369 is 29noH369 oneH369 to deliverH5337.”

12O GodH430, 30do not be farH7368 from me; O my GodH430, 31hastenH2363 to my helpH5833!13Let those who are adversariesH7853 of my soulH5315 be 32ashamedH954 and consumedH3615; Let them be 33coveredH5844 with reproachH2781 and dishonorH3639, who 34seekH1245 35to injureH7463 me.14But as for me, I will 36hopeH3176 continuallyH8548, And will 3738praiseH8416 You yetH3254 moreH3254 and moreH3254.15My 39mouthH6310 shall tellH5608 of Your righteousnessH6666 And of 40Your salvationH8668 allH3605 dayH3117 long; For I 41do not knowH3045 the 42sumH5615 of them.16I will comeH935 43with the mightyH1369 deedsH1369 of the LordH136 44GodH3068; I will 45makeH2142 mentionH2142 of Your righteousnessH6666, Yours aloneH905.

17O GodH430, You 46have taughtH3925 me from my youthH5271, And I stillH5704H2008 47declareH5046 Your wondrousH6381 deedsH6381.18And evenH1571 whenH5704 I am 48oldH2209 and grayH7872, O GodH430, do not forsakeH5800 me, UntilH5704 I 49declareH5046 Your 50strengthH2220 to this generationH1755, Your powerH1369 to allH3605 who are to comeH935.1951For Your 52righteousnessH6666, O GodH430, reaches to the 53heavensH4791, You whoH834 have 54doneH6213 greatH1419 thingsH1419; O GodH430, 55whoH4310 is likeH3644 You?20You whoH834 have 56shownH7200 57me manyH7227 troublesH6869 and distressesH7463 Will 58reviveH2421 59me againH7725, And will bringH5927 60me up againH7725 61from the depthsH8415 of the earthH776.21May You increaseH7235 my 62greatnessH1420 And turnH5437 to 63comfortH5162 me.

22I will alsoH1571 praiseH3034 You with 6465a harpH5035, Even Your 66truthH571, O my GodH430; To You I will singH2167 praisesH2167 with the 67lyreH3658, O 68HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.23My lipsH8193 will 69shoutH7442 for joyH7442 whenH3588 I singH2167 praisesH2167 to You; And my 70soulH5315, whichH834 You have redeemedH6299.24My 71tongueH3956 alsoH1571 will utterH1897 Your righteousnessH6666 allH3605 dayH3117 long; For they are 72ashamedH954, for they are humiliatedH2659 who seekH1245 73my hurtH7463.
