# Chapter 71
|
|
1 In you, O Lord, do I take refuge;
|
|
let me never be put to shame!
|
|
2 In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me;
|
|
incline your ear to me, and save me!
|
|
3 Be to me a rock of refuge,
|
|
to which I may continually come;
|
|
you have given the command to save me,
|
|
for you are my rock and my fortress.
|
|
4 Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked,
|
|
from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man.
|
|
5 For you, O Lord, are my hope,
|
|
my trust, O Lord, from my youth.
|
|
6 Upon you I have leaned from before my birth;
|
|
you are he who took me from my mother's womb.
|
|
My praise is continually of you.
|
|
7 I have been as a portent to many,
|
|
but you are my strong refuge.
|
|
8 My mouth is filled with your praise,
|
|
and with your glory all the day.
|
|
9 Do not cast me off in the time of old age;
|
|
forsake me not when my strength is spent.
|
|
10 For my enemies speak concerning me;
|
|
those who watch for my life consult together
|
|
11 and say, “God has forsaken him;
|
|
pursue and seize him,
|
|
for there is none to deliver him.”
|
|
12 O God, be not far from me;
|
|
O my God, make haste to help me!
|
|
13 May my accusers be put to shame and consumed;
|
|
with scorn and disgrace may they be covered
|
|
who seek my hurt.
|
|
14 But I will hope continually
|
|
and will praise you yet more and more.
|
|
15 My mouth will tell of your righteous acts,
|
|
of your deeds of salvation all the day,
|
|
for their number is past my knowledge.
|
|
16 With the mighty deeds of the Lord God I will come;
|
|
I will remind them of your righteousness, yours alone.
|
|
17 O God, from my youth you have taught me,
|
|
and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds.
|
|
18 So even to old age and gray hairs,
|
|
O God, do not forsake me,
|
|
until I proclaim your might to another generation,
|
|
your power to all those to come.
|
|
19 Your righteousness, O God,
|
|
reaches the high heavens.
|
|
You who have done great things,
|
|
O God, who is like you?
|
|
20 You who have made me see many troubles and calamities
|
|
will revive me again;
|
|
from the depths of the earth
|
|
you will bring me up again.
|
|
21 You will increase my greatness
|
|
and comfort me again.
|
|
22 I will also praise you with the harp
|
|
for your faithfulness, O my God;
|
|
I will sing praises to you with the lyre,
|
|
O Holy One of Israel.
|
|
23 My lips will shout for joy,
|
|
when I sing praises to you;
|
|
my soul also, which you have redeemed.
|
|
24 And my tongue will talk of your righteous help all the day long,
|
|
for they have been put to shame and disappointed
|
|
who sought to do me hurt. |
