# Chapter 71
|
||
1 In You, O Lord, I put my trust;
|
||
Let me never be put to shame.
|
||
2 Deliver me in Your righteousness, and cause me to escape;
|
||
Incline Your ear to me, and save me.
|
||
3 Be my strong refuge,
|
||
To which I may resort continually;
|
||
You have given the commandment to save me,
|
||
For You are my rock and my fortress.
|
||
4 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked,
|
||
Out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
|
||
5 For You are my hope, O Lord God;
|
||
You are my trust from my youth.
|
||
6 By You I have been upheld from birth;
|
||
You are He who took me out of my mother’s womb.
|
||
My praise shall be continually of You.
|
||
7 I have become as a wonder to many,
|
||
But You are my strong refuge.
|
||
8 Let my mouth be filled with Your praise
|
||
And with Your glory all the day.
|
||
9 Do not cast me off in the time of old age;
|
||
Do not forsake me when my strength fails.
|
||
10 For my enemies speak against me;
|
||
And those who lie in wait for my life take counsel together,
|
||
11 Saying, “God has forsaken him;
|
||
Pursue and take him, for there is none to deliver him.”
|
||
12 O God, do not be far from me;
|
||
O my God, make haste to help me!
|
||
13 Let them be confounded and consumed
|
||
Who are adversaries of my life;
|
||
Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor
|
||
Who seek my hurt.
|
||
14 But I will hope continually,
|
||
And will praise You yet more and more.
|
||
15 My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness
|
||
And Your salvation all the day,
|
||
For I do not know their limits.
|
||
16 I will go in the strength of the Lord God;
|
||
I will make mention of Your righteousness, of Yours only.
|
||
17 O God, You have taught me from my youth;
|
||
And to this day I declare Your wondrous works.
|
||
18 Now also when I am old and grayheaded,
|
||
O God, do not forsake me,
|
||
Until I declare Your strength to this generation,
|
||
Your power to everyone who is to come.
|
||
19 Also Your righteousness, O God, is very high,
|
||
You who have done great things;
|
||
O God, who is like You?
|
||
20 You, who have shown me great and severe troubles,
|
||
Shall revive me again,
|
||
And bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
|
||
21 You shall increase my greatness,
|
||
And comfort me on every side.
|
||
22 Also with the lute I will praise You—
|
||
And Your faithfulness, O my God!
|
||
To You I will sing with the harp,
|
||
O Holy One of Israel.
|
||
23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing to You,
|
||
And my soul, which You have redeemed.
|
||
24 My tongue also shall talk of Your righteousness all the day long;
|
||
For they are confounded,
|
||
For they are brought to shame
|
||
Who seek my hurt. |
