Psm71:1 In thee, O LORD, do I take refuge;let me never be put to shame!
Psm71:2 In thy righteousness deliver me and rescue me;incline thy ear to me, and save me!
Psm71:3 Be thou to me a rock of refuge, a strong fortress, to save me, for thou art my rock and my fortress.
Psm71:4 Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man.
Psm71:5 For thou, O Lord, art my hope, my trust, O LORD, from my youth.
Psm71:6 Upon thee I have leaned from my birth;thou art he who took me from my mother's womb. My praise is continually of thee.
Psm71:7 I have been as a portent to many;but thou art my strong refuge.
Psm71:8 My mouth is filled with thy praise, and with thy glory all the day.
Psm71:9 Do not cast me off in the time of old age;forsake me not when my strength is spent.
Psm71:10 For my enemies speak concerning me, those who watch for my life consult together,
Psm71:11 and say, 'God has forsaken him;pursue and seize him, for there is none to deliver him.'
Psm71:12 O God, be not far from me;O my God, make haste to help me!
Psm71:13 May my accusers be put to shame and consumed;with scorn and disgrace may they be covered who seek my hurt.
Psm71:14 But I will hope continually, and will praise thee yet more and more.
Psm71:15 My mouth will tell of thy righteous acts, of thy deeds of salvation all the day, for their number is past my knowledge.
Psm71:16 With the mighty deeds of the Lord GOD I will come, I will praise thy righteousness, thine alone.
Psm71:17 O God, from my youth thou hast taught me, and I still proclaim thy wondrous deeds.
Psm71:18 So even to old age and gray hairs, O God, do not forsake me, till I proclaim thy might to all the generations to come. Thy power
Psm71:19 and thy righteousness, O God, reach the high heavens. Thou who hast done great things, O God, who is like thee?
Psm71:20 Thou who hast made me see many sore troubles wilt revive me again;from the depths of the earth thou wilt bring me up again.
Psm71:21 Thou wilt increase my honor, and comfort me again.
Psm71:22 I will also praise thee with the harp for thy faithfulness, O my God;I will sing praises to thee with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel.
Psm71:23 My lips will shout for joy, when I sing praises to thee;my soul also, which thou hast rescued.
Psm71:24 And my tongue will talk of thy righteous help all the day long, for they have been put to shame and disgraced who sought to do me hurt.
