NASB Bible

Psalms 71

Prayer of an Old Man for Deliverance.

1

 aIn You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; Let me never be ashamed.

2

 aIn Your righteousness deliver me and rescue me;  bIncline Your ear to me and save me.

3

 aBe to me a rock of  bhabitation to which I may continually come; You have given  ccommandment to save me, For You are  dmy  1rock and my fortress.

4

 aRescue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, Out of the  1grasp of the wrongdoer and ruthless man,

5

For You are my  ahope; O Lord  1GOD, You are my  bconfidence from my youth.

6

 1By You I have been  asustained from my birth; You are He who  btook me from my mother's womb; My  cpraise is continually  2of You.

7

I have become a  amarvel to many, For You are  bmy strong refuge.

8

My  amouth is filled with Your praise And with  bYour glory all day long.

9

Do not cast me off in the  atime of old age; Do not forsake me when my strength fails.

10

For my enemies have spoken  1against me; And those who  awatch for my  2life  bhave consulted together,

11

Saying, " aGod has forsaken him; Pursue and seize him, for there is  bno one to deliver."

12

O God,  ado not be far from me; O my God,  bhasten to my help!

13

Let those who are adversaries of my soul be  aashamed and consumed; Let them be  bcovered with reproach and dishonor, who  cseek  1to injure me.

14

But as for me, I will  ahope continually, And will  1 bpraise You yet more and more.

15

My  amouth shall tell of Your righteousness And of  bYour salvation all day long; For I  cdo not know the  1sum of them.

16

I will come  awith the mighty deeds of the Lord  1GOD; I will  bmake mention of Your righteousness, Yours alone.

17

O God, You  ahave taught me from my youth, And I still  bdeclare Your wondrous deeds.

18

And even when I am  aold and gray, O God, do not forsake me, Until I  bdeclare Your  1strength to this generation, Your power to all who are to come.

19

 1For Your  arighteousness, O God, reaches to the  2heavens, You who have  bdone great things; O God,  cwho is like You?

20

You who have  ashown  1me many troubles and distresses Will  brevive  1me again, And will bring  1me up again  cfrom the depths of the earth.

21

May You increase my  agreatness And turn to  bcomfort me.

22

I will also praise You with  1 aa harp, Even Your  2truth, O my God; To You I will sing praises with the  blyre, O  cHoly One of Israel.

23

My lips will  ashout for joy when I sing praises to You; And my  bsoul, which You have redeemed.

24

My  atongue also will utter Your righteousness all day long; For they are  bashamed, for they are humiliated who seek  1my hurt.
