71:1 In you, O Yahweh, I take refuge: Let me never be put to shame.
71:2 Deliver me in your righteousness, and rescue me: Bow down your ear to me, and save me. 71:3 Be to me a rock for my dwelling, to where I may continually resort: You have given commandment to save me; For you are my rock and my fortress. 71:4 Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, Out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. 71:5 For you are my hope, O Sovereign Yahweh: [You are] my trust from my youth. 71:6 By you I have been held up from the womb; You are he who took me out of my mother's bowels: My praise will be continually of you. 71:7 I am as a wonder to many; But you are my strong refuge. 71:8 My mouth will be filled with your praise, And with your honor all the day. 71:9 Don't cast me off in the time of old age; Don't forsake me when my strength fails. 71:10 For my enemies speak concerning me; And those who watch for my soul take counsel together, 71:11 Saying, God has forsaken him: Pursue and take him; for there is none to deliver. 71:12 O God, don't be far from me; O my God, hurry to help me. 71:13 Let them be put to shame [and] consumed who are adversaries to my soul; Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor who seek my hurt. 71:14 But I will hope continually, And will praise you yet more and more. 71:15 My mouth will tell of your righteousness, [And] of your salvation all the day; For I don't know the numbers [of it]. 71:16 I will come with the mighty acts of the Sovereign Yahweh: I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours only. 71:17 O God, you have taught me from my youth; And until now I have declared your wondrous works. 71:18 Yes, even when I am old and grayheaded, O God, don't forsake me, Until I have declared your strength to [the next] generation, Your might to everyone who is to come. 71:19 Your righteousness also, O God, is very high; You who have done great things, O God, who is like you? 71:20 You, who have shown us many and intense troubles, Will quicken us again, And will bring us up again from the depths of the earth. 71:21 You will increase my greatness, And turn again and comfort me. 71:22 I will also praise you with the psaltery, [Even] your truth, O my God: To you I will sing praises with the harp, O you Holy One of Israel. 71:23 My lips will shout for joy when I sing praises to you; And my soul, which you have redeemed. 71:24 My tongue also will talk of your righteousness all the day long; For they are put to shame, for they are confounded, who seek my hurt. |
