Psalm 71

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 In you, O Lord, have I put my hope; let me never be shamed.

2 Keep me safe in your righteousness, and come to my help; give ear to my voice, and be my saviour.

3 Be my strong Rock, the strong place of my salvation; for you are my Rock, and my safe place.

4 O my God, take me out of the hand of the sinner, out of the hand of the evil and cruel man.

5 For you are my hope, O Lord God; I have had faith in you from the time when I was young.

6 You have been my support from the day of my birth; you took me out of my mother's body; my praise will be ever of you.

7 I am a wonder to all; but you are my strong tower.

8 My mouth will be full of your praise and glory all the day.

9 Do not give me up when I am old; be my help even when my strength is gone.

10 For my haters are waiting secretly for me; and those who are watching for my soul are banded together in their evil designs,

11 Saying, God has given him up; go after him and take him, for he has no helper.

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

13 Let those who say evil against my soul be overcome and put to shame; let my haters be made low and have no honour.

14 But I will go on ever hoping, and increasing in all your praise.

15 My mouth will make clear your righteousness and your salvation all the day; for they are more than may be measured.

16 I will give news of the great acts of the Lord God; my words will be of your righteousness, and of yours only.

17 O God, you have been my teacher from the time when I was young; and I have been talking of your works of wonder even till now.

18 Now when I am old and grey-headed, O God, give me not up; till I have made clear your strength to this generation, and your power to all those to come.

19 Your righteousness, O God, is very high; you have done great things; O God, who is like you?

20 You, who have sent great and bitter troubles on me, will give me life again, lifting me up from the deep waters of the underworld.

21 You will make me greater than before, and give me comfort on every side.

22 I will give praise to you with instruments of music, O my God, for you are true; I will make songs to you with music, O Holy One of Israel.

23 Joy will be on my lips when I make melody to you; and in my soul, to which you have given salvation.

24 My tongue will be talking of your righteousness all the day; for those whose purpose is to do me evil have been crushed and put to shame.

5 Sovereign Lord, I put my hope in you; I have trusted in you since I was young.

6 I have relied on you all my life; you have protected me since the day I was born. I will always praise you.

7 My life has been an example to many, because you have been my strong defender.

8 All day long I praise you and proclaim your glory.

9 Do not reject me now that I am old; do not abandon me now that I am feeble.

10 My enemies want to kill me; they talk and plot against me.

11 They say, "God has abandoned him; let's go after him and catch him; there is no one to rescue him."

12 Don't stay so far away, O God; my God, hurry to my aid!

13 May those who attack me be defeated and destroyed. May those who try to hurt me be shamed and disgraced.

14 I will always put my hope in you; I will praise you more and more.

15 I will tell of your goodness; all day long I will speak of your salvation, though it is more than I can understand.

16 I will go in the strength of the Lord God; I will proclaim your goodness, yours alone.

17 You have taught me ever since I was young, and I still tell of your wonderful acts.

18 Now that I am old and my hair is gray, do not abandon me, O God! Be with me while I proclaim your power and might to all generations to come.

19 Your righteousness, God, reaches the skies. You have done great things; there is no one like you.

20 You have sent troubles and suffering on me, but you will restore my strength; you will keep me from the grave.

21 You will make me greater than ever; you will comfort me again.

22 I will indeed praise you with the harp; I will praise your faithfulness, my God. On my harp I will play hymns to you, the Holy One of Israel.

23 I will shout for joy as I play for you; with my whole being I will sing because you have saved me.

24 I will speak of your righteousness all day long, because those who tried to harm me have been defeated and disgraced.
