Psalm 71
English translation got from website: https://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cdo
- In You, O Lord, have I taken refuge; let me never be ashamed.
- With Your charity, You shall save me and rescue me; extend Your ear to me and save me.
- Be for me a sheltering rock in which to enter continually; You commanded [others] to save me because You are my rock and my fortress.
- My God, rescue me from the hands of the wicked, from the palm of him who treats unjustly and robs.
- For You are my hope, O Lord God, my trust since my youth.
- I relied on You from birth; from my mother’s womb You drew me; my praise is always in You.
- I was an example for the multitude, but You were my strong shelter.
- My mouth will be filled with Your praise, all the days with Your glory.
- Do not cast me away at the time of old age; when my strength fails, do not forsake me.
- For my enemies said of me, and those who watch for my soul took counsel together,
- Saying, « God has forsaken him; pursue and seize him, for there is no rescuer. »
- O God, do not distance Yourself from me; my God, hasten to my assistance.
- The adversaries of my soul will be shamed and will perish; enwrapped in humiliation and disgrace will be those who seek to harm me.
- As for me, I shall constantly hope, and I shall add to all Your praise.
- My mouth will recite Your righteousness, all the days Your salvation, for I do not know their number.
- I shall come with the mighty deeds of the Lord God; I shall mention Your righteousness alone.
- O God, You have taught me since my youth, and until now I shall recite your wonders.
- And even until old age and hoary hairs, O God, do not forsake me, until I tell [of] Your strength to the generation, to everyone who comes-Your might
- And Your charity, O God, [which is] up to the heights, for You do great things. O God, who is like You?
- That You showed me great and evil troubles, You will revive me again, and from the depths of the earth You will again raise me up.
- You will increase my greatness, and You will turn and comfort me.
- I too shall thank You with a stringed instrument for Your truth, my God; I shall play music to You with a harp, O Holy One of Israel.
- My lips will sing praises when I play music to You, and my soul, which You redeemed.
- Also my tongue will utter Your righteousness all the days, for those who seek my harm are shamed, yea, for they are disgraced.
