Psalms 71

New Century Version NCV

1 In you, Lord, is my protection. Never let me be ashamed.

2 Because you do what is right, save and rescue me; listen to me and save me.

3 Be my place of safety where I can always come. Give the command to save me, because you are my rock and my strong, walled city.

4 My God, save me from the power of the wicked and from the hold of evil and cruel people.

5 Lord, you are my hope. Lord, I have trusted you since I was young.

6 I have depended on you since I was born; you helped me even on the day of my birth. I will always praise you.

7 I am an example to many people, because you are my strong protection.

8 I am always praising you; all day long I honor you.

9 Do not reject me when I am old; do not leave me when my strength is gone.

10 My enemies make plans against me, and they meet together to kill me.

11 They say, "God has left him. Go after him and take him, because no one will save him."

12 God, don't be far off. My God, hurry to help me.

13 Let those who accuse me be ashamed and destroyed. Let those who are trying to hurt me be covered with shame and disgrace.

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

15 I will tell how you do what is right. I will tell about your salvation all day long, even though it is more than I can tell.

16 I will come and tell about your powerful works, Lord God. I will remind people that only you do what is right.

17 God, you have taught me since I was young. To this day I tell about the miracles you do.

18 Even though I am old and gray, do not leave me, God. I will tell the children about your power; I will tell those who live after me about your might.

19 God, your justice reaches to the skies. You have done great things; God, there is no one like you.

20 You have given me many troubles and bad times, but you will give me life again. When I am almost dead, you will keep me alive.

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

22 I will praise you with the harp. I trust you, my God. I will sing to you with the lyre, Holy One of Israel.

23 I will shout for joy when I sing praises to you. You have saved me.

24 I will tell about your justice all day long. And those who want to hurt me will be ashamed and disgraced. Of Solomon.

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.
