Psalms 71

LITV(i) 1 I put my trust in You, O Jehovah, let me not be put to shame forever. 2 In Your righteousness deliver me and rescue me; bow down Your ear to me and save me. 3 Be a rock of strength for me, to which I may always go; You have given a command to save me; for You are my rock and my fortress. 4 O my God, deliver me out of the hand of the wicked, and out of the palm of the unjust and the ruthless. 5 For You are my hope, O Lord Jehovah, my trust from my youth. 6 I have rested on You from the belly; You are He who took me out of my mother's womb; my praise shall be always of You. 7 I am like a wonder to many, but You are my strong tower. 8 My mouth is filled with Your praise, with your glory all the day long. 9 Do not cast me off now at the time of my old age. Do not forsake me when my strength fails. 10 For my enemies speak against me; and those who lurk for my soul plot together. 11 And they say, God has forsaken him; pursue him and take him, for there is no one to deliver. 12 O God, do not be far from me; Oh my God come quickly to help me. 13 Let them be ashamed; let those who are enemies of my soul be consumed; let them be covered with reproach, and let those seeking evil for me be dishonored; 14 and I will hope without ceasing, and I will add more on all Your praise. 15 My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness and Your salvation all the day; for I do not know the numbers. 16 I will come in the strength of the lord Jehovah; I will speak of Your righteousness, of Yours alone. 17 O God, You have taught me from my youth; and until now I have declared Your wonders. 18 And now that I am old and grayheaded, O God, do not leave me until I have manifested Your strength to the generation, Your power to everyone who is to come. 19 And, Your righteousness, O God, is to the heights, You who have done great things. O God, who is like You? 20 Who has shown me great and evil distresses; You will turn me; You will make me live; and You will bring me up from the depths of the earth. 21 You will multiply my greatness and surround and comfort me. 22 I will also thank You with a harp, O my God; I will sing Your truth; I will sing to You with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel. 23 My lips shall shout for joy, for I will sing praise to You; also my soul which you have redeemed. 24 And my tongue shall muse on Your righteousness all the day; because those seeking my evil are disgraced; they are put to shame.
