YLT - Psalms - 71

71:1  In Thee, O Jehovah, I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed to the age.

71:2  In Thy righteousness Thou dost deliver me, And dost cause me to escape, Incline unto me Thine ear, and save me.

71:3  Be to me for a rock--a habitation, To go in continually, Thou hast given command to save me, For my rock and my bulwark art Thou.

71:4  O my God, cause me to escape From the hand of the wicked, From the hand of the perverse and violent.

71:5  For Thou art my hope, O Lord Jehovah, My trust from my youth.

71:6  By Thee I have been supported from the womb, From my mother's bowels Thou dost cut me out, In Thee is my praise continually.

71:7  As a wonder I have been to many, And Thou art my strong refuge.

71:8  Filled is my mouth with Thy praise, All the day with Thy beauty.

71:9  Cast me not off at the time of old age, According to the consumption of my power forsake me not.

71:10  For mine enemies have spoken against me, And those watching my soul have taken counsel together,

71:11  Saying, `God hath forsaken him, Pursue and catch him, for there is no deliverer.'

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

71:13  They are ashamed, they are consumed, Who are opposing my soul, They are covered with reproach and blushing, Who are seeking my evil,

71:14  And I continually do wait with hope, And have added unto all Thy praise.

71:15  My mouth recounteth Thy righteousness, All the day Thy salvation, For I have not known the numbers.

71:16  I come in the might of the Lord Jehovah, I mention Thy righteousness--Thine only.

71:17  God, Thou hast taught me from my youth, And hitherto I declare Thy wonders.

71:18  And also unto old age and grey hairs, O God, forsake me not, Till I declare Thy strength to a generation, To every one that cometh Thy might.

71:19  And Thy righteousness, O God, is unto the heights, Because Thou hast done great things, O God, who is like Thee?

71:20  Because Thou hast showed me many and sad distresses, Thou turnest back--Thou revivest me, And from the depths of the earth, Thou turnest back--Thou bringest me up.

71:21  Thou dost increase my greatness, And Thou surroundest--Thou comfortest me,

71:22  I also thank Thee with a vessel of psaltery, Thy truth, O my God, I sing to Thee with a harp, O Holy One of Israel,

71:23  My lips cry aloud when I sing praise to Thee, And my soul that Thou hast redeemed,

71:24  My tongue also all the day uttereth Thy righteousness, Because ashamed--because confounded, Have been those seeking my evil!
