Psalm 71:1-24 NASB

[1] In You, Lord, I have taken refuge; Let me never be put to shame. [2] In Your righteousness rescue me and save me; Extend Your ear to me and help me. [3] Be to me a rock of dwelling to which I may continually come; You have given the commandment to save me, For You are my rock and my fortress. [4] Save me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, From the grasp of the wrongdoer and the ruthless, [5] For You are my hope; Lord God, You are my confidence from my youth. [6] I have leaned on You since 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 away at the time of my old age; Do not abandon 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 abandoned him; Pursue and seize him, for there is no one to save him.” [12] God, do not be far from me; My God, hurry to my aid! [13] May those who are enemies of my soul be put to shame and consumed; May they be covered with disgrace and dishonor, who seek to injure me. [14] But as for me, I will wait 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 art of writing. [16] I will come with the mighty deeds of the Lord God; I will make mention of Your righteousness, Yours alone. [17] God, You have taught me from my youth, And I still declare Your wondrous deeds. [18] And even when I am old and gray, God, do not abandon me, Until I declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to all who are to come. [19] For Your righteousness, God, reaches to the heavens, You who have done great things; 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, And Your truth, my God; I will sing praises to You with the lyre, 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 tell of Your righteousness all day long; For they are put to shame, for they are humiliated who seek my harm.
