Psalms 71

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 I have taken refuge in you, O LORD. Never let me be put to shame.

2 Rescue me and free me because of your righteousness. Turn your ear toward me, and save me.

3 Be a rock on which I may live, a place where I may always go. You gave the order to save me! Indeed, you are my rock and my fortress.

4 My God, free me from the hands of a wicked person, from the grasp of one who is cruel and unjust.

5 You are my hope, O Almighty LORD. You have been my confidence ever since I was young.

6 I depended on you before I was born. You took me from my mother's womb. My songs of praise constantly speak about you.

7 I have become an example to many people, but you are my strong refuge.

8 My mouth is filled with your praise, with your glory all day long.

9 Do not reject me when I am old or abandon me when I lose my strength.

10 My enemies talk about me. They watch me as they plot to take my life.

11 They say, "God has abandoned him. Pursue him and grab him because there is no one to rescue him."

12 O God, do not be so distant from me. O my God, come quickly to help me.

13 Let those who accuse me come to a shameful end. Let those who want my downfall be covered with disgrace and humiliation.

14 But I will always have hope. I will praise you more and more.

15 My mouth will tell about your righteousness, about your salvation all day long. Even then, it is more than I can understand.

16 I will come with the mighty deeds of the Almighty LORD. I will praise your righteousness, yours alone.

17 O God, you have taught me ever since I was young, and I still talk about the miracles you have done.

18 Even when I am old and gray, do not abandon me, O God. Let me live to tell the people of this age what your strength has accomplished, to tell about your power to all who will come.

19 Your righteousness reaches to the heavens, O God. You have done great things. O God, who is like you?

20 You have made me endure many terrible troubles. You restore me to life again. You bring me back from the depths of the earth.

21 You comfort me and make me greater than ever.

22 Because of your faithfulness, O my God, even I will give thanks to you as I play on a lyre. I will make music with a harp to praise you, O Holy One of Israel.

23 My lips will sing with joy when I make music to praise you. My soul, which you have rescued, also will sing joyfully.

24 My tongue will tell about your righteousness all day long, because those who wanted my downfall have been disgraced and put to shame.

New International Version NIV

1 In you, LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame.

2 In your righteousness, rescue me and deliver me; turn your ear to me and save me.

3 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.

4 Deliver me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of those who are evil and cruel.

5 For you have been my hope, Sovereign LORD, my confidence since my youth.

6 From birth I have relied on you; you brought me forth from my mother’s womb. I will ever praise you.

7 I have become a sign to many; you are my strong refuge.

8 My mouth is filled with your praise, declaring your splendor all day long.

9 Do not cast me away when I am old; do not forsake me when my strength is gone.

10 For my enemies speak against me; those who wait to kill me conspire together.

11 They say, “God has forsaken him; pursue him and seize him, for no one will rescue him.”

12 Do not be far from me, my God; come quickly, God, to help me.

13 May my accusers perish in shame; may those who want to harm me be covered with scorn and disgrace.

14 As for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more.

15 My mouth will tell of your righteous deeds, of your saving acts all day long— though I know not how to relate them all.

16 I will come and proclaim your mighty acts, Sovereign LORD; I will proclaim your righteous deeds, yours alone.

17 Since my youth, God, you have taught me, and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds.

18 Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, my God, till I declare your power to the next generation, your mighty acts to all who are to come.

19 Your righteousness, God, reaches to the heavens, you who have done great things. Who is like you, God?

20 Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again; from the depths of the earth you will again bring me up.

21 You will increase my honor and comfort me once more.

22 I will praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, my God; I will sing praise to you with the lyre, Holy One of Israel.

23 My lips will shout for joy when I sing praise to you— I whom you have delivered.

24 My tongue will tell of your righteous acts all day long, for those who wanted to harm me have been put to shame and confusion.
