Psalm 71:1-24 NASB95

[1] In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; Let me never be ashamed. [2] In Your righteousness deliver me and rescue me; Incline Your ear to me and save me. [3] Be to me a rock of habitation to which I may continually come; You have given commandment to save me, For You are my rock and my fortress. [4] Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, Out of the grasp of the wrongdoer and ruthless man, [5] For You are my hope; O Lord GOD, You are my confidence from my youth. [6] By You I have been sustained from my birth; You are He who took me from my mother's womb; My praise is continually of You. [7] I have become a marvel to many, For You are my strong refuge. [8] My mouth is filled with Your praise And with Your glory all day long. [9] Do not cast me off in the time of old age; Do not forsake me when my strength fails. [10] For my enemies have spoken against me; And those who watch for my life have consulted together, [11] Saying, "God has forsaken him; Pursue and seize him, for there is no one to deliver." [12] O God, do not be far from me; O my God, hasten to my help! [13] Let those who are adversaries of my soul be ashamed and consumed; Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor, who seek to injure me. [14] But as for me, I will hope continually, And will praise You yet more and more. [15] My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness And of Your salvation all day long; For I do not know the sum of them. [16] I will come with the mighty deeds of the Lord GOD; I will make mention of Your righteousness, Yours alone. [17] O God, You have taught me from my youth, And I still declare Your wondrous deeds. [18] And even when I am old and gray, O God, do not forsake me, Until I declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to all who are to come. [19] For Your righteousness, O God, reaches to the heavens, You who have done great things; O God, who is like You? [20] You who have shown me many troubles and distresses Will revive me again, And will bring me up again from the depths of the earth. [21] May You increase my greatness And turn to comfort me. [22] I will also praise You with a harp, Even Your truth, O my God; To You I will sing praises with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel. [23] My lips will shout for joy when I sing praises to You; And my soul, which You have redeemed. [24] My tongue also will utter Your righteousness all day long; For they are ashamed, for they are humiliated who seek my hurt.
