Psa 71:1

Psa 71:1(LXX 70:1) By David, a Psalm sung by the sons of Jonadab, and the first that were taken captive. O Lord, I have hoped in thee: let me never be put to shame.

Psa 71:2

Psa 71:2(LXX 70:2) In thy righteousness deliver me and rescue me: incline thine ear to me, and save me.

Psa 71:3

Psa 71:3(LXX 70:3) Be to me a protecting God, and a strong hold to save me: for thou art my fortress and my refuge.

Psa 71:4

Psa 71:4(LXX 70:4) Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the sinner, from the hand of the transgressor and unjust man.

Psa 71:5

Psa 71:5(LXX 70:5) For thou art my support, O Lord; O Lord, thou art my hope from my youth.

Psa 71:6

Psa 71:6(LXX 70:6) On thee have I been stayed from the womb: from the belly of my mother thou art my protector: of thee is my [fn]praise continually.

Psa 71:7

Psa 71:7(LXX 70:7) I am become as it were a wonder to many; but thou art my strong helper.

Psa 71:8

Psa 71:8(LXX 70:8) Let my mouth be filled with praise, that I may hymn thy glory, and thy majesty all the day.

Psa 71:9

Psa 71:9(LXX 70:9) Cast me not off at the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength fails.

Psa 71:10

Psa 71:10(LXX 70:10) For mine enemies have spoken against me; and they that lay wait for my soul have taken counsel together,

Psa 71:11

Psa 71:11(LXX 70:11) saying, God has forsaken him: persecute ye and take him; for there is none to deliver him.

Psa 71:12

Psa 71:12(LXX 70:12) O God, go not far from me, O my God, draw nigh to my help.

Psa 71:13

Psa 71:13(LXX 70:13) Let those that plot against my soul be ashamed and utterly fail: let those that seek my hurt be clothed with shame and dishonour.

Psa 71:14

Psa 71:14(LXX 70:14) But I will hope continually, and will praise thee more and more.

Psa 71:15

Psa 71:15(LXX 70:15) My mouth shall declare thy righteousness openly, and thy salvation all the day; for I am not acquainted with the affairs of men.

Psa 71:16

Psa 71:16(LXX 70:16) I will go on in the might of the Lord: O Lord, I will make mention of thy righteousness only.

Psa 71:17

Psa 71:17(LXX 70:17) O God, thou hast taught me from my youth, and until now will I declare thy wonders;

Psa 71:18

Psa 71:18(LXX 70:18) even until I am old and advanced in years. O God, forsake me not; until I shall have declared thine arm to all the generation that is to come:

Psa 71:19

Psa 71:19(LXX 70:19) even thy power and thy righteousness, O God, up to the highest heavens, even the mighty works which thou hast done: O God, who is like to thee?

Psa 71:20

Psa 71:20(LXX 70:20) What afflictions many and sore hast thou shewed me! yet thou didst turn and quicken me, and broughtest me again from the depths of the earth.

Psa 71:21

Psa 71:21(LXX 70:21) Thou didst multiply thy righteousness, and didst turn and comfort me, and broughtest me again out of the depths of the earth.

Psa 71:22

Psa 71:22(LXX 70:22) I will also therefore give thanks to thee, O God, because of thy truth, on an instrument of psalmody: I will sing psalms to thee on the harp, O Holy One of Israel.

Psa 71:23

Psa 71:23(LXX 70:23) My lips shall rejoice when I sing to thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.

Psa 71:24

Psa 71:24(LXX 70:24) Moreover also my tongue shall [fn]dwell all the day upon thy righteousness; when they shall be ashamed and confounded that seek my hurt.
