Psalms Chapter 71 (NIV)
undefined
Psalm 71In you, O Lord, I have taken refuge;let me never be put to shame.
undefined
Rescue me and deliver me in your righteousness;turn your ear to me and save me.
undefined
Be my rock of refuge,to which I can always go;give the command to save me,for you are my rock and my fortress.
undefined
Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked,from the grasp of evil and cruel men.
undefined
For you have been my hope, O Sovereign Lord,my confidence since my youth.
undefined
From birth I have relied on you;you brought me forth from my mother’s womb.I will ever praise you.
undefined
I have become like a portent to many,but you are my strong refuge.
undefined
My mouth is filled with your praise,declaring your splendor all day long.
undefined
Do not cast me away when I am old;do not forsake me when my strength is gone.
undefined
For my enemies speak against me;those who wait to kill me conspire together.
undefined
They say, “God has forsaken him;pursue him and seize him,for no one will rescue him.”
undefined
Be not far from me, O God;come quickly, O my God, to help me.
undefined
May my accusers perish in shame;may those who want to harm mebe covered with scorn and disgrace.
undefined
But as for me, I will always have hope;I will praise you more and more.
undefined
My mouth will tell of your righteousness,of your salvation all day long,though I know not its measure.
undefined
I will come and proclaim your mighty acts, O Sovereign Lord;I will proclaim your righteousness, yours alone.
undefined
Since my youth, O God, you have taught me,and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds.
undefined
Even when I am old and gray,do not forsake me, O God,till I declare your power to the next generation,your might to all who are to come.
undefined
Your righteousness reaches to the skies, O God,you who have done great things.Who, O God, is like you?
undefined
Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter,you will restore my life again;from the depths of the earthyou will again bring me up.
undefined
You will increase my honorand comfort me once again.
undefined
I will praise you with the harpfor your faithfulness, O my God;I will sing praise to you with the lyre,O Holy One of Israel.
undefined
My lips will shout for joywhen I sing praise to you—I, whom you have redeemed.
undefined
My tongue will tell of your righteous actsall day long,for those who wanted to harm mehave been put to shame and confusion.
