ACV - Psalms - 71

71:1  In thee, O Jehovah, do I take refuge. Let me never be put to shame.

71:2  Deliver me in thy righteousness, and rescue me. Bow down thine ear to me, and save me.

71:3  Be thou to me a rock of habitation to which I may continually resort. Thou have given commandment to save me, for thou are my rock and my fortress.

71:4  Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of a wicked man, out of the hand of an unrighteous and cruel man.

71:5  For thou are my hope, O lord Jehovah, my trust from my youth.

71:6  By thee I have been held up from the womb. Thou are he who took me out of my mother's bowels. My praise shall be continually of thee.

71:7  I am as a wonder to many, but thou are my strong refuge.

71:8  My mouth shall be filled with thy praise, and with thy honor all the day.

71:9  Cast me not off in the time of old age. Forsake me not when my strength fails.

71:10  For my enemies speak concerning me, and those who watch for my soul take counsel together,

71:11  saying, God has forsaken him. Pursue and take him, for there is none to deliver.

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

71:13  Let them be put to shame and consumed who are adversaries to my soul. Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor who seek my hurt.

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

71:15  My mouth shall tell of thy righteousness, of thy salvation all the day, for I know not the numbers.

71:16  I will come with the mighty acts of the lord Jehovah. I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.

71:17  O God, thou have taught me from my youth, and I have declared thy wondrous works until now.

71:18  Yea, even when I am old and gray headed, O God, forsake me not, until I have declared thy strength to a generation, thy might to everyone who is to come.

71:19  Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, thou who have done great things. O God, who is like thee?

71:20  Thou, who have shown us many and great troubles, will revive us again, and will bring us up again from the depths of the earth.

71:21  Increase thou my greatness, and turn again and comfort me.

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

71:23  My lips shall shout for joy when I sing praises to thee, and my soul, which thou have redeemed.

71:24  My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long. For they are put to shame, for they are confounded, who seek my hurt.
