Psa 71:1

Psa 71:1In you, O LORD, I have taken shelter! Never let me be humiliated!

Psa 71:2

Psa 71:2Vindicate me by rescuing me! Listen to me! Deliver me!

Psa 71:3

Psa 71:3Be my protector and refuge, a stronghold where I can be safe! For you are my high ridge and my stronghold.

Psa 71:4

Psa 71:4My God, rescue me from the power of the wicked, from the hand of the cruel oppressor!

Psa 71:5

Psa 71:5For you give me confidence, O Lord; O LORD, I have trusted in you since I was young.

Psa 71:6

Psa 71:6I have leaned on you since birth; you pulled me from my mother's womb. I praise you continually.

Psa 71:7

Psa 71:7Many are appalled when they see me, but you are my secure shelter.

Psa 71:8

Psa 71:8I praise you constantly and speak of your splendor all day long.

Psa 71:9

Psa 71:9Do not reject me in my old age! When my strength fails, do not abandon me!

Psa 71:10

Psa 71:10For my enemies talk about me; those waiting for a chance to kill me plot my demise.

Psa 71:11

Psa 71:11They say, "God has abandoned him. Run and seize him, for there is no one who will rescue him!"

Psa 71:12

Psa 71:12O God, do not remain far away from me! My God, hurry and help me!

Psa 71:13

Psa 71:13May my accusers be humiliated and defeated! May those who want to harm me be covered with scorn and disgrace!

Psa 71:14

Psa 71:14As for me, I will wait continually, and will continue to praise you.

Psa 71:15

Psa 71:15I will tell about your justice, and all day long proclaim your salvation, though I cannot fathom its full extent.

Psa 71:16

Psa 71:16I will come and tell about the mighty acts of the sovereign LORD. I will proclaim your justice - yours alone.

Psa 71:17

Psa 71:17O God, you have taught me since I was young, and I am still declaring your amazing deeds.

Psa 71:18

Psa 71:18Even when I am old and gray, O God, do not abandon me, until I tell the next generation about your strength, and those coming after me about your power.

Psa 71:19

Psa 71:19Your justice, O God, extends to the skies above; you have done great things. O God, who can compare to you?

Psa 71:20

Psa 71:20Though you have allowed me to experience much trouble and distress, revive me once again! Bring me up once again from the depths of the earth!

Psa 71:21

Psa 71:21Raise me to a position of great honor! Turn and comfort me!

Psa 71:22

Psa 71:22I will express my thanks to you with a stringed instrument, praising your faithfulness, O my God! I will sing praises to you accompanied by a harp, O Holy One of Israel!

Psa 71:23

Psa 71:23My lips will shout for joy! Yes, I will sing your praises! I will praise you when you rescue me!

Psa 71:24

Psa 71:24All day long my tongue will also tell about your justice, for those who want to harm me will be embarrassed and ashamed.
