LITV - Psalms - 71

71:1  I put my trust in You, O Jehovah, let me not be put to shame forever.

71:2  In Your righteousness deliver me and rescue me; bow down Your ear to me and save me.

71:3  Be a rock of strength for me, to which I may always go; You have given a command to save me; for You are my rock and my fortress.

71:4  O my God, deliver me out of the hand of the wicked, and out of the palm of the unjust and the ruthless.

71:5  For You are my hope, O Lord Jehovah, my trust from my youth.

71:6  I have rested on You from the belly; You are He who took me out of my mother's womb; my praise shall be always of You.

71:7  I am like a wonder to many, but You are my strong tower.

71:8  My mouth is filled with Your praise, with your glory all the day long.

71:9  Do not cast me off now at the time of my old age. Do not forsake me when my strength fails.

71:10  For my enemies speak against me; and those who lurk for my soul plot together.

71:11  And they say, God has forsaken him; pursue him and take him, for there is no one to deliver.

71:12  O God, do not be far from me; Oh my God come quickly to help me.

71:13  Let them be ashamed; let those who are enemies of my soul be consumed; let them be covered with reproach, and let those seeking evil for me be dishonored;

71:14  and I will hope without ceasing, and I will add more on all Your praise.

71:15  My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness and Your salvation all the day; for I do not know the numbers.

71:16  I will come in the strength of the lord Jehovah; I will speak of Your righteousness, of Yours alone.

71:17  O God, You have taught me from my youth; and until now I have declared Your wonders.

71:18  And now that I am old and grayheaded, O God, do not leave me until I have manifested Your strength to the generation, Your power to everyone who is to come.

71:19  And, Your righteousness, O God, is to the heights, You who have done great things. O God, who is like You?

71:20  Who has shown me great and evil distresses; You will turn me ; You will make me live; and You will bring me up from the depths of the earth.

71:21  You will multiply my greatness and surround and comfort me.

71:22  I will also thank You with a harp, O my God; I will sing Your truth; I will sing to You with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel.

71:23  My lips shall shout for joy, for I will sing praise to You; also my soul which you have redeemed.

71:24  And my tongue shall muse on Your righteousness all the day; because those seeking my evil are disgraced; they are put to shame.
