RNKJV - Psalms - 71

71:1  In thee, O יהוה, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.

71:2  Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me.

71:3  Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.

71:4  Deliver me, O my Elohim, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.

71:5  For thou art my hope, O Sovereign יהוה: thou art my trust from my youth.

71:6  By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise shall be continually of thee.

71:7  I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge.

71:8  Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day.

71:9  Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.

71:10  For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,

71:11  Saying, Elohim hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him.

71:12  O Elohim, be not far from me: O my Elohim, make haste for my help.

71:13  Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.

71:14  But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.

71:15  My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.

71:16  I will go in the strength of the Sovereign יהוה: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.

71:17  O Elohim, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.

71:18  Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O Elohim, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.

71:19  Thy righteousness also, O Elohim, is very high, who hast done great things: O Elohim, who is like unto thee!

71:20  Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

71:21  Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.

71:22  I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my Elohim: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.

71:23  My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.

71:24  My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.
