Psalms 71

PSALM 71

The LORD is Our Endurance

A psalm to David of the sons of Jonadab, and of the ones originally being taken captive.

1 Upon you, O lord, I hoped. May I not be disgraced into the eon. 2 In your righteousness rescue me, and take me! Lean [²to ³me ¹your ear] and deliver me! 3 Be to me for [²God ¹a defending]! and for [²place ¹a fortified] to deliver me. For [²my confirmation ³and ⁴my refuge ¹you are]. 4 O my God, rescue me from the hand of the sinner! from the hand of the one acting unlawfully and doing wrong. 5 For you are my endurance, O Lord, O lord, the one of my hope from my youth. 6 [⁴upon ⁵you ³I stayed ¹From ²the womb]; from the belly of my mother you are my shelterer. [³about ⁴you ¹My singing praise ²is always]. 7 [²as it were ³a miracle ¹I was] to the many; but you are [³helper ¹my ²fortified]. 8 Let [²be filled ¹my mouth] of praise! that I may praise in song of your glory; the entire day of your majesty. 9 You should not throw me away in the time of old age; in the failing of my strength you should not abandon me.

Make The LORD Known to Each Generation

10 For [²spoke ¹my enemies] against me; and the ones watching out for my life consulted together, 11 saying, God abandoned him; pursue and overtake him! for there is no one rescuing him. 12 O my God, you should be not far from me. O my God, [²to ³my help ¹take heed]! 13 Let [⁴be shamed ⁵and ⁶fail ¹the ones ²slandering ³my soul]! Let [⁵put on ⁶shame ⁷and ⁸remorse ¹the ones ²seeking ³bad things ⁴for me]! 14 But I always shall hope upon you, and I will add upon all your praise. 15 My mouth shall announce your righteousness the entire day; your deliverance, for I did not know writings. 16 I will enter in the might of the lord. O lord, I will mention your righteousness only. 17 You taught me, O God, from my youth; and until now I will report your wonders. 18 Even until old age, and of a senior, O my God, you should not abandon me until whenever I should report your arm to [³generation ¹every ²coming]; 19 of your might and of your righteousness, O God, unto the highests, what [²you did ³to me ¹magnificence]. O God, who is likened to you? 20 As much as you showed to me -- [²afflictions ¹many] and bad things; but turning, you restored life to me; and from out of the abysses of the earth you led me. 21 You abounded to me your greatness, and turning you comforted me; and from out of the abysses of the earth again you led me. 22 For also I will make acknowledgment to you among peoples, O lord; with an instrument for a psalm of your truth, O God. I shall strum to you with the harp, O holy one of Israel. 23 [²shall exult ¹My lips] whenever I should strum to you, and my soul which you ransomed. 24 But still also my tongue [³all ⁴the ⁵day ¹shall meditate upon ²your righteousness], whenever [⁵should be ashamed ⁶and ⁷should feel remorse ¹the ones ²seeking ³bad things ⁴for me].
