Psalms 71

1In you, O Yahuah, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion. 2Deliver me in your righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline your ear unto me, and save me. 3Be you my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: you hast given commandment to save me; for you my rock and my fortress. 4Deliver me, O my Elohim, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. 5For you my hope, O Lord GOD: my trust from my youth. 6By you have I been holden up from the womb: you art he that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise continually of you. 7I am as a wonder unto many; but you my strong refuge. 8Let my mouth be filled your praise your honour all the day. 9Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth. 10For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together, 11Saying, Elohim has forsaken him: persecute and take him; for none to deliver . 12O Elohim, be not far from me: O my Elohim, make haste for my help. 13Let them be confounded consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt. 14But I will hope continually, and will yet praise you more and more. 15My mouth shall shew forth your righteousness your salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers . 16I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of your righteousness, of your only. 17O Elohim, you hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared your wondrous works. 18Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O Elohim, forsake me not; until I have shewed your strength unto generation, your power to every one is to come. 19your righteousness also, O Elohim, very high, who hast done great things: O Elohim, who like unto you! 20, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shall quicken me again, and shall bring me up again from the depths of the earth. 21you shall increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side. 22I will also praise you with the psaltery, your truth, O my Elohim: unto you will I sing with the harp, O you Holy One of Israel. 23My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto you; and my soul, which you hast redeemed. 24My tongue also shall talk of your righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.
