Psalm 71 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

Prayer of an Old Man for Deliverance.

Psa 71:1

In thee, O Jehovah, do I take refuge:

Let me never be put to shame.

Psa 71:2

Deliver me in thy righteousness, and rescue me:

Bow down thine ear unto me, and save me.

Psa 71:3

Be thou to me a rock of habitation, whereunto I may continually resort:

Thou hast given commandment to save me;

For thou art my rock and my fortress.

Psa 71:4

Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked,

Out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.

Psa 71:5

For thou art my hope, O Lord Jehovah:

Thou art my trust from my youth.

Psa 71:6

By thee have I been holden up from the womb;

Thou art he that took me out of my mother’s bowels:

My praise shall be continually of thee.

Psa 71:7

I am as a wonder unto many;

But thou art my strong refuge.

Psa 71:8

My mouth shall be filled with thy praise,

And with thy honor all the day.

Psa 71:9

Cast me not off in the time of old age;

Forsake me not when my strength faileth.

Psa 71:10

For mine enemies speak concerning me;

And they that watch for my soul take counsel together,

Psa 71:11

Saying, God hath forsaken him:

Pursue and take him; for there is none to deliver.

Psa 71:12

O God, be not far from me;

O my God, make haste to help me.

Psa 71:13

Let them be put to shame and consumed that are adversaries to my soul;

Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor that seek my hurt.

Psa 71:14

But I will hope continually,

And will praise thee yet more and more.

Psa 71:15

My mouth shall tell of thy righteousness,

And of thy salvation all the day;

For I know not the numbers thereof.

Psa 71:16

I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord Jehovah:

I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.

Psa 71:17

O God, thou hast taught me from my youth;

And hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.

Psa 71:18

Yea, even when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not,

Until I have declared thy strength unto the next generation,

Thy might to every one that is to come.

Psa 71:19

Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high;

Thou who hast done great things, O God, who is like unto thee?

Psa 71:20

Thou, who hast showed us many and sore troubles,

Wilt quicken us again,

And wilt bring us up again from the depths of the earth.

Psa 71:21

Increase thou my greatness,

And turn again and comfort me.

Psa 71:22

I will also praise thee with the psaltery,

Even thy truth, O my God:

Unto thee will I sing praises with the harp,

O thou Holy One of Israel.

Psa 71:23

My lips shall shout for joy when I sing praises unto thee;

And my soul, which thou hast redeemed.

Psa 71:24

My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long;

For they are put to shame, for they are confounded, that seek my hurt.
