Psalms 71
71
God the Rock of Salvation
1In #Ps. 25:2, 3You, O Lord, I put my trust;
Let me never be put to shame.
2#Ps. 31:1Deliver me in Your righteousness, and cause me to escape;
#Ps. 17:6Incline Your ear to me, and save me.
3#Ps. 31:2, 3Be my strong refuge,
To which I may resort continually;
You have given the #Ps. 44:4commandment to save me,
For You are my rock and my fortress.
4#Ps. 140:1, 3Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked,
Out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
5For You are #Jer. 14:8; 17:7, 13, 17; 50:7my hope, O Lord God;
You are my trust from my youth.
6#Ps. 22:9, 10; Is. 46:3By 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#Is. 8:18; Zech. 3:8; 1 Cor. 4:9I have become as a wonder to many,
But You are my strong refuge.
8Let #Ps. 35:28my mouth be filled with Your praise
And with Your glory all the day.
9Do not cast me off in the time of old age;
Do not forsake me when my strength fails.
10For my enemies speak against me;
And those who lie in wait for my life #2 Sam. 17:1take counsel together,
11Saying, “God has forsaken him;
Pursue and take him, for there is none to deliver him.”
12#Ps. 35:22O God, do not be far from me;
O my God, #Ps. 70:1make haste to help me!
13Let them be confounded and consumed
Who are adversaries of my life;
Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor
Who seek my hurt.
14But I will hope continually,
And will praise You yet more and more.
15My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness
And Your salvation all the day,
For I do not know their limits.
16I will go in the strength of the Lord God;
I will make mention of Your righteousness, of Yours only.
17O God, You have taught me from my #Deut. 4:5; 6:7youth;
And to this day I declare Your wondrous works.
18Now also #(Is. 46:4)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.
19Also #Deut. 3:24; Ps. 57:10Your righteousness, O God, is very high,
You who have done great things;
#Ps. 35:10O God, who is like You?
20#Ps. 60:3You, who have shown me great and severe troubles,
#Hos. 6:1, 2Shall revive me again,
And bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
21You shall increase my greatness,
And comfort me on every side.
22Also #Ps. 92:1–3with the lute I will praise You—
And Your faithfulness, O my God!
To You I will sing with the harp,
O #2 Kin. 19:22; Is. 1:4Holy One of Israel.
23My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing to You,
And #Ps. 103:4my soul, which You have redeemed.
24My 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.

Psalms 71
71
1 In you, LORD, I take refuge.
Never let me be disappointed.
2 Deliver me in your righteousness, and rescue me.
Turn your ear to me, and save me.
3 Be to me a rock of refuge to which I may always go.
Give the command to save me,
for you are my rock and my fortress.
4 Rescue me, my God, from the hand of the wicked,
from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
5 For you are my hope, Lord GOD,
my confidence from my youth.
6 I have relied on you from the womb.
You are he who took me out of my mother’s womb.
I will always praise you.
7 I am a marvel to many,
but you are my strong refuge.
8 My mouth shall be filled with your praise,
with your honour all day long.
9Don’t reject me in my old age.
Don’t forsake me when my strength fails.
10 For my enemies talk about me.
Those who watch for my soul conspire together,
11saying, “God has forsaken him.
Pursue and take him, for no one will rescue him.”
12God, don’t be far from me.
My God, hurry to help me.
13 Let my accusers be disappointed and consumed.
Let them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to harm me.
14 But I will always hope,
and will add to all of your praise.
15 My mouth will tell about your righteousness,
and of your salvation all day,
though I don’t know its full measure.
16 I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord GOD.
I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours alone.
17God, you have taught me from my youth.
Until now, I have declared your wondrous works.
18 Yes, even when I am old and grey-haired, God, don’t forsake me,
until I have declared your strength to the next generation,
your might to everyone who is to come.
19 God, your righteousness also reaches to the heavens.
You have done great things.
God, who is like you?
20 You, who have shown us many and bitter troubles,
you will let me live.
You will bring us up again from the depths of the earth.
21 Increase my honour
and comfort me again.
22 I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, my God.
I sing praises to you with the lyre, Holy One of Israel.
23 My lips shall shout for joy!
My soul, which you have redeemed, sings praises to you!
24 My tongue will also talk about your righteousness all day long,
for they are disappointed, and they are confounded,
who want to harm me.
