Psalms 71

Revised Standard Version RSV

1 In thee, O LORD, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame!

2 In thy righteousness deliver me and rescue me; incline thy ear to me, and save me!

3 Be thou to me a rock of refuge, a strong fortress, to save me, for thou art my rock and my fortress.

4 Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man.

5 For thou, O Lord, art my hope, my trust, O LORD, from my youth.

6 Upon thee I have leaned from my birth; thou art he who took me from my mother's womb. My praise is continually of thee.

7 I have been as a portent to many; but thou art my strong refuge.

8 My mouth is filled with thy praise, and with thy glory all the day.

9 Do not cast me off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength is spent.

10 For my enemies speak concerning me, those who watch for my life consult together,

11 and say, "God has forsaken him; pursue and seize him, for there is none to deliver him."

12 O God, be not far from me; O my God, make haste to help me!

13 May my accusers be put to shame and consumed; with scorn and disgrace may they be covered who seek my hurt.

14 But I will hope continually, and will praise thee yet more and more.

15 My mouth will tell of thy righteous acts, of thy deeds of salvation all the day, for their number is past my knowledge.

16 With the mighty deeds of the Lord GOD I will come, I will praise thy righteousness, thine alone.

17 O God, from my youth thou hast taught me, and I still proclaim thy wondrous deeds.

18 So even to old age and gray hairs, O God, do not forsake me, till I proclaim thy might to all the generations to come. Thy power

19 and thy righteousness, O God, reach the high heavens. Thou who hast done great things, O God, who is like thee?

20 Thou who hast made me see many sore troubles wilt revive me again; from the depths of the earth thou wilt bring me up again.

21 Thou wilt increase my honor, and comfort me again.

22 I will also praise thee with the harp for thy faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praises to thee with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel.

23 My lips will shout for joy, when I sing praises to thee; my soul also, which thou hast rescued.

24 And my tongue will talk of thy righteous help all the day long, for they have been put to shame and disgraced who sought to do me hurt.

1 Lord, I have come to you for protection; never let me be defeated!

3 Be my secure shelter and a strong fortress to protect me; you are my refuge and defense.

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

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.
