CHAPTER 71

In You,

O LORD,

I have taken refuge;

let me never

be put to shame.

In Your justice,

rescue

and deliver me;

incline

Your ear

and save me.

Be

my rock

of refuge,

where I can always

go.

Give the command

to save me,

for

You

are my rock

and my fortress.

Deliver me,

O my God,

from the hand

of the wicked,

from the grasp

of the unjust

and ruthless.

For

You

are my hope,

O Lord

GOD,

my confidence

from my youth.

I have leaned

on You

since birth;

You

pulled me

from my mother’s

womb.

My praise

is always for You.

I have become

a portent

to many,

but You

are my strong

refuge.

My mouth

is filled

with Your praise

and with Your splendor

all

day long.

Do not

discard me

in my old age;

do not

forsake me

when my strength

fails.

For

my enemies

speak against me,

and those who lie in wait

for my life

conspire,

saying,

“God

has forsaken him;

pursue him

and seize him,

for

there is no

one to rescue him.”

Be not

far

from me,

O God.

Hurry,

O my God,

to help me.

May the accusers

of my soul

be ashamed

and consumed;

may those who seek

my harm

be covered

with scorn

and disgrace.

But I

will always

hope

and will praise

You more

and

more.

My mouth

will declare

Your righteousness

and Your salvation

all day long,

though

I cannot

know

their full measure.

I will enter

in the strength

of the Lord

GOD;

I will proclaim

Your righteousness—

Yours alone.

O God,

You have taught me

from my youth,

and to this day

I proclaim

Your marvelous deeds.

Even

when I am old

and gray,

do not

forsake me,

O God,

until

I proclaim

Your power

to the next generation,

Your might

to all

who are to come.

Your righteousness

reaches to

the heavens,

O God,

You who

have done

great things.

Who,

O God,

is like You?

Though you

have shown me

many

troubles

and misfortunes,

You will revive me

once again.

Even from the depths

of the earth

You will bring me

back up.

You will increase

my honor

and comfort

me once again.

So

I

will praise You

with the harp

for Your faithfulness,

O my God;

I will sing praise

to You

with the lyre,

O Holy

One of Israel.

My lips

will shout for joy

when

I sing praise

to You,

along with my soul

which You have redeemed.

My tongue

will indeed proclaim

Your righteousness

all day long,

for

those who seek

my harm

are disgraced

and

confounded.
