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