Psalms 71

Prayer of an Old Man for Rescue.

11In You, LordH3068, I have takenH2620 refugeH2620; Let me neverH408H5769 be putH954 toH954 shameH954.22In Your righteousnessH6666 rescueH5337 me and saveH6403 me; 3ExtendH5186 Your earH241 to me and helpH3467 me.34Be to me a rockH6697 of 5dwellingH4583 to which I may continuallyH8548 comeH935; You have givenH6680 the 6commandmentH6680 to saveH3467 me, For You are 7my rockH5553 and my fortressH4686.48SaveH6403 me, my GodH430, from the handH3027 of the wickedH7563, From the 9graspH3709 of the wrongdoerH5765 and the ruthlessH2556,5For You are my 10hopeH8615; LordH136 11GodH3068, You are my 12confidenceH4009 from my youthH5271.6I have 13leanedH5564 on You sinceH4480 my birthH990; You are He who 14tookH1491 me from my mother’sH517 wombH990; My 15praiseH8416 is continuallyH8548 16of You.

7I have becomeH1961 a 17marvelH4159 to manyH7227, For You are 18my strongH5797 refugeH4268.8My 19mouthH6310 is filledH4390 with Your praiseH8416 And with 20Your gloryH8597 allH3605 dayH3117 long.9Do not castH7993 me awayH7993 at the 21timeH6256 of my oldH2209 ageH2209; Do not abandonH5800 me when my strengthH3581 failsH3615.10For my enemiesH340 have spokenH559 22against me; And those who 23watchH8104 for my 24lifeH5315 25have consultedH3289 togetherH3164,11SayingH559, “26GodH430 has abandonedH5800 him; PursueH7291 and seizeH8610 him, for thereH369 isH369 27noH369 oneH369 to saveH5337 him.”

12GodH430, 28do not beH7368 farH7368 from me; My GodH430, 29hurryH2363 to my aidH5833!13May those who are enemiesH7853 of my soulH5315 be 30putH954 toH954 shameH954 and consumedH3615; May they be 31coveredH5844 with disgraceH2781 and dishonorH3639, who 32seekH1245 33to injureH7463 me.14But as for me, I will 34waitH3176 continuallyH8548, And will 3536praiseH8416 You yetH3254 moreH3254 and moreH3254.15My 37mouthH6310 shall tellH5608 of Your righteousnessH6666 And of 38Your salvationH8668 allH3605 dayH3117 long; For I 39do not knowH3045 the artH5615 ofH5615 writingH5615.16I will comeH935 40with the mightyH1369 deedsH1369 of the LordH136 41GodH3068; I will 42makeH2142 mentionH2142 of Your righteousnessH6666, Yours aloneH905.

17GodH430, You 43have taughtH3925 me from my youthH5271, And I stillH5704H2008 44declareH5046 Your wondrousH6381 deedsH6381.18And evenH1571 whenH5704 I am 45oldH2209 and grayH7872, GodH430, do not abandonH5800 me, UntilH5704 I 46declareH5046 Your 47strengthH2220 to this generationH1755, Your powerH1369 to allH3605 who are to comeH935.1948For Your 49righteousnessH6666, GodH430, reaches to the 50heavensH4791, You whoH834 have 51doneH6213 greatH1419 thingsH1419; GodH430, 52whoH4310 is likeH3644 You?20You whoH834 have 53shownH7200 54me manyH7227 troublesH6869 and distressesH7463 Will 55reviveH2421 56me againH7725, And will bringH5927 57me upH5927 againH7725 58from the depthsH8415 of the earthH776.21May You increaseH7235 my 59greatnessH1420 And turnH5437 to 60comfortH5162 me.

22I will alsoH1571 praiseH3034 You with 6162a harpH5035, And Your 63truthH571, my GodH430; I will singH2167 praisesH2167 to You with the 64lyreH3658, 65HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.23My lipsH8193 will 66shoutH7442 forH7442 joyH7442 whenH3588 I singH2167 praisesH2167 to You; And my 67soulH5315, whichH834 You have redeemedH6299.24My 68tongueH3956 alsoH1571 will tellH1897 of Your righteousnessH6666 allH3605 dayH3117 long; For they are 69putH954 toH954 shameH954, for they are humiliatedH2659 who seekH1245 70my harmH7463.
