Psalms 71:5-18

5For thou art my hopeH8615, O LordH136 YhwhH3069: thou art my trustH4009 from my youthH5271.

6By thee have I been holden upH5564 from the wombH990: thou art he that tookH1491 me out of my mother’sH517 bowelsH4578: my praiseH8416 shall be continuallyH8548 of thee.

7I am as a wonderH4159 unto manyH7227; but thou art my strongH5797 refugeH4268.

8Let my mouthH6310 be filledH4390 with thy praiseH8416 and with thy honourH8597 all the dayH3117.

9Cast me not offH7993 in the timeH6256 of old ageH2209; forsakeH5800 me not when my strengthH3581 failethH3615.

10For mine enemiesH341 speakH559 against me; and they that lay waitH8104 for my soulH5315 take counselH3289 togetherH3162,1

11SayingH559, GodH430 hath forsakenH5800 him: persecuteH7291 and takeH8610 him; for there is none to deliverH5337 him.

12O GodH430, be not farH7368 from me: O my GodH430, make hasteH2439H2363 for my helpH5833.

13Let them be confoundedH954 and consumedH3615 that are adversariesH7853 to my soulH5315; let them be coveredH5844 with reproachH2781 and dishonourH3639 that seekH1245 my hurtH7451.

14But I will hopeH3176 continuallyH8548, and will yet praiseH8416 thee moreH3254 and moreH3254.

15My mouthH6310 shall shew forthH5608 thy righteousnessH6666 and thy salvationH8668 all the dayH3117; for I knowH3045 not the numbersH5615 thereof.

16I will go inH935 the strengthH1369 of the LordH136 YhwhH3069: I will make mentionH2142 of thy righteousnessH6666, even of thine only.

17O GodH430, thou hast taughtH3925 me from my youthH5271: and hitherto have I declaredH5046 thy wondrous worksH6381.

18Now also whenH5704 I am oldH2209 and grayheadedH7872, O GodH430, forsakeH5800 me not; until I have shewedH5046 thy strengthH2220 unto this generationH1755, and thy powerH1369 to every one that is to comeH935.23
