Psalms 71
71
Ps 31:1–4
1In You, O Lord, do I take refuge;
let me never be put to shame. # Ps 25:2–3; 31:1–3
2Deliver me in Your righteousness and rescue me; # Ps 31:1
incline Your ear to me, and save me. # Ps 17:6
3Be to me a rock of refuge
to which I may continually come;
You have given the commandment to save me,
for You are my rock and my fortress. # Ps 18:2; 31:2–3
4Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked,
out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
5For You are my hope, O Lord God; # Jer 17:7, 13
You are my trust from my youth.
6I have leaned on You since my birth;
You are He who took me out of my mother’s womb. # Ps 22:9–10
My praise will be continually of You. # Ps 34:1
7I have become a marvel to many, # Isa 8:18; 1Co 4:9
for You are my strong refuge.
8Let my mouth be filled with Your praise
and with Your glory all the day. # Ps 35:28
9Cast me not away in the time of old age; # Ps 71:18; Isa 46:4
forsake me not when my strength fails.
10For my enemies speak against me,
and those who lie in wait for my life take counsel together, # Ps 56:6; 83:3
11saying, “God has forsaken him;
pursue and take him,
for there is no one to deliver him.” # Ps 3:2; 7:2
12O God, be not far from me; # Ps 35:22; 38:21–22
O my God, make haste to help me.
13Let them be confounded and consumed
who are adversaries of my soul;
let them be covered with reproach and dishonor
who seek my hurt. # Ps 35:4, 26
14But I will hope continually,
and will praise You yet more and more.
15My mouth will tell of Your righteousness
and of Your salvation all the day, # Ps 35:28
for I do not know their extent. # Ps 40:5
16I will go in the strength of the Lord God;
I will make mention of Your righteousness, of Yours only. # Ps 51:14
17O God, You have taught me from my youth,
and I still declare Your wondrous works.
18Now also when I am old and gray,
O God, do not forsake me, # Ps 71:9
until I declare Your might to this generation,
and Your power to everyone who is to come. # Ps 78:4
19Your righteousness, O God, reaches the high heavens, # Ps 57:10
You who have done great things;
O God, who is like You? # Ps 35:10
20You who have shown me many troubles and distresses
will revive me again, # Ps 60:3
and will bring me up again
from the depths of the earth.
21You will increase my greatness
and comfort me on every side.
22Also with the harp will I praise You
for Your faithfulness, O my God;
to You will I sing praises with the lyre, # Ps 33:2
O Holy One of Israel. # 2Ki 19:22
23My lips will greatly rejoice
when I sing to You,
and my soul, which You have redeemed. # Ps 103:4
24My tongue also shall talk of Your righteousness
all the day long, # Ps 35:28
for they are confounded and brought to shame
who seek my hurt. # Ps 71:13
