Psalms - Chapter 71 | American Standard Version

  • 1. In thee, O Jehovah, do I take refuge: Let me never be put to shame.
  • 2. Deliver me in thy righteousness, and rescue me: Bow down thine ear unto me, and save me.
  • 3. Be thou to me a rock of habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: Thou hast given commandment to save me; For thou art my rock and my fortress.
  • 4. Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, Out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
  • 5. For thou art my hope, O Lord Jehovah: {cf15i Thou art} my trust from my youth.
  • 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.
  • 7. I am as a wonder unto many; But thou art my strong refuge.
  • 8. My mouth shall be filled with thy praise, And with thy honor all the day.
  • 9. Cast me not off in the time of old age; Forsake me not when my strength faileth.
  • 10. For mine enemies speak concerning me; And they that watch for my soul take counsel together,
  • 11. Saying, God hath forsaken him: Pursue and take him; For there is none to deliver.
  • 12. O God, be not far from me; O my God, make haste to help me.
  • 13. Let them be put to shame {cf15i and} consumed that are adversaries to my soul; Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor that seek my hurt.
  • 14. But I will hope continually, And will praise thee yet more and more.
  • 15. My mouth shall tell of thy righteousness, {cf15i And} of thy salvation all the day; For I know not the numbers {cf15i thereof}.
  • 16. I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord Jehovah: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.
  • 17. O God, thou hast taught me from my youth; And hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.
  • 18. Yea, even when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not, Until I have declared thy strength unto {cf15i the next} generation, Thy might to every one that is to come.
  • 19. Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high; Thou who hast done great things, O God, who is like unto thee?
  • 20. Thou, who hast showed us many and sore troubles, Wilt quicken us again, And wilt bring us up again from the depths of the earth.
  • 21. Increase thou my greatness, And turn again and comfort me.
  • 22. I will also praise thee with the psaltery, {cf15i Even} thy truth, O my God: Unto thee will I sing praises with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.
  • 23. My lips shall shout for joy when I sing praises unto thee; And my soul, which thou hast redeemed.
  • 24. My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long; For they are put to shame, for they are confounded, that seek my hurt.
