Psalms 71
71
Ps 31:1–4
1In You, O Lord, I seek refuge;
may I never be put to shame.
2#Ps 63:1; 84:2 Deliver me in Your righteousness and help me escape;
incline Your ear to me and save me.
3#Ps 79:10; 80:5 Be my rock of refuge
to enter continually;
You have given commandment to saveme;
for You are my rock and my stronghold.
4#Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked,
out of the hand of the unjust and cruel man.
5#Ps 42:11; 43:5 For You are my hope, O Lord God;
You are my confidence from my youth.
6#2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8–9 On You I have supported myself from the womb;
You took me out of my mother’s womb.
My praise will continually be about You.
7#Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3 I am like a wondrous sign to many;
You are my strong refuge.
8#Job 35:10; Ps 63:6 My mouth will be filled with Your praise
and with Your glory all the day.
9#Ps 38:6; 18:2 Do not cast me off in the time of old age;
do not forsake me when my strength fails.
10#Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17 For my enemies speak against me;
and those who watch for my life take counsel together,
11#Ps 42:5; 43:5 saying, “God has forsaken him;
pursue and catch him,
for there is none to deliver him.”
12O God, do not be far from me;
O my God, act quickly to help me.
13May the adversaries of my life be ashamed and confused;
may those who seek my harm
be enveloped in scorn and dishonor.
14But I will hope continually,
and will add to all Your praise.
15My mouth will declare Your righteousness
and Your salvation all the day,
for I cannot know their numbers.
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 youth;
and until now I have proclaimed Your wondrous works.
18Now also when I am old and gray,
O God, do not forsake me,
until I have proclaimed Your strength to this generation,
and Your power to everyone who is to come.
19Your righteousness, O God, reaches to the heights;
You have done great deeds;
O God, who is like You?
20You who have shown me great distresses and troubles
will revive me again,
and will bring me up again
from the depths of the earth.
21You will increase my greatness,
and You will encircle and comfort me.
22I will give You thanks with the harp,
even Your truth, O my God;
to You I will sing with the lyre,
O Holy One of Israel.
23My lips will rejoice
when I sing to You,
and my soul, which You have redeemed.
24My tongue also will speak of Your righteousness
all the day long;
for those who seek my harm are ashamed,
for they have been put to shame.

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.
