Psalms 71:5-18

5For thou art my hopeH8615, O LordH136 GODH136: thou art my trustH4009 from my youthH5271.

6By thee have I been holden upH5921 from the wombH990: thou art he that tookH1491 meH5921 outH5921 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.

8My mouthH6310 shall be filledH4390 with thy praiseH8416, and with thy honour allH3605 the dayH3117.

9CastH7993 meH7993 notH408 offH7993 in the time of oldH2209 ageH2209; forsakeH5800 meH7993 notH408 when my strengthH3581 faileth.

10For mine enemiesH341 speakH559 concerning meH5315; and they that watchH8104 for my soulH5315 takeH8104 counselH3289 togetherH3162,

11SayingH559, GodH430 hath forsaken him: pursueH7291 and takeH8610 him; for there is noneH369 to deliverH5337.

12O GodH430, be notH408 farH7368 from meH4480: O my GodH430, make haste to helpH5833 meH4480.

13LetH5315 them be ashamedH954 and consumedH3615 that are adversariesH7853 to my soulH5315; letH5315 them be coveredH954 with reproachH2781 and dishonour that seekH1245 my hurt.

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

15My mouthH6310 shall tellH5608 of thy righteousnessH6666, and of thy salvationH8668 allH3605 the dayH3117; for I knowH3045 notH3808 the numbers thereof.

16I will comeH935 with the mightyH1369 actsH1369 of the LordH136 GODH136: I will makeH2142 mentionH2142 of thy righteousnessH6666, even of thine onlyH905.

17O GodH430, thou hast taughtH3925 meH5046 from my youthH5271; and hitherto have I declaredH5046 thy wondrousH6381 worksH6381.

18Yea, evenH1571 when I am oldH7872 and grayheadedH7872, O GodH430, forsakeH5800 meH5046 notH408; untilH5704 I have declaredH5046 thy strengthH1369 unto the next generationH1755, thy might to everyH3605 one that is to comeH935.
