Psalm 71 :: Bible in Basic English (BBE)

Prayer of an Old Man for Deliverance.

Psa 71:1

Psa 71:1In you, O Lord, have I put my hope; let me never be shamed.

Psa 71:2

Psa 71:2Keep me safe in your righteousness, and come to my help; give ear to my voice, and be my saviour.

Psa 71:3

Psa 71:3Be my strong Rock, the strong place of my salvation; for you are my Rock, and my safe place.

Psa 71:4

Psa 71:4O my God, take me out of the hand of the sinner, out of the hand of the evil and cruel man.

Psa 71:5

Psa 71:5For you are my hope, O Lord God; I have had faith in you from the time when I was young.

Psa 71:6

Psa 71:6You have been my support from the day of my birth; you took me out of my mother's body; my praise will be ever of you.

Psa 71:7

Psa 71:7I am a wonder to all; but you are my strong tower.

Psa 71:8

Psa 71:8My mouth will be full of your praise and glory all the day.

Psa 71:9

Psa 71:9Do not give me up when I am old; be my help even when my strength is gone.

Psa 71:10

Psa 71:10For my haters are waiting secretly for me; and those who are watching for my soul are banded together in their evil designs,

Psa 71:11

Psa 71:11Saying, God has given him up; go after him and take him, for he has no helper.

Psa 71:12

Psa 71:12O God, be not far from me; O my God, come quickly to my help.

Psa 71:13

Psa 71:13Let those who say evil against my soul be overcome and put to shame; let my haters be made low and have no honour.

Psa 71:14

Psa 71:14But I will go on ever hoping, and increasing in all your praise.

Psa 71:15

Psa 71:15My mouth will make clear your righteousness and your salvation all the day; for they are more than may be measured.

Psa 71:16

Psa 71:16I will give news of the great acts of the Lord God; my words will be of your righteousness, and of yours only.

Psa 71:17

Psa 71:17O God, you have been my teacher from the time when I was young; and I have been talking of your works of wonder even till now.

Psa 71:18

Psa 71:18Now when I am old and grey-headed, O God, give me not up; till I have made clear your strength to this generation, and your power to all those to come.

Psa 71:19

Psa 71:19Your righteousness, O God, is very high; you have done great things; O God, who is like you?

Psa 71:20

Psa 71:20You, who have sent great and bitter troubles on me, will give me life again, lifting me up from the deep waters of the underworld.

Psa 71:21

Psa 71:21You will make me greater than before, and give me comfort on every side.

Psa 71:22

Psa 71:22I will give praise to you with instruments of music, O my God, for you are true; I will make songs to you with music, O Holy One of Israel.

Psa 71:23

Psa 71:23Joy will be on my lips when I make melody to you; and in my soul, to which you have given salvation.

Psa 71:24

Psa 71:24My tongue will be talking of your righteousness all the day; for those whose purpose is to do me evil have been crushed and put to shame.
