ASV_Strong : Psalms 71
1. In thee[H3068], O Jehovah, do I take refuge[H2620]: Let me never[H408] be put to shame[H954].
2. Deliver[H5337] me in thy righteousness[H6666], and rescue[H6403] me[H5186]: Bow down thine ear[H241] unto me[H3467], and save me.
3. Be thou to me a rock[H6697] of habitation[H4583], whereunto I may continually[H8548] resort[H935]: Thou hast given commandment[H6680] to save[H3467] me[H5553]; For thou art my rock and my fortress[H4686].
4. Rescue[H6403] me[H430], O my God, out of the hand[H3027] of the wicked[H7563], Out of the hand[H3709] of the unrighteous[H5765] and cruel man[H2556].
5. For thou art my hope[H8615], O Lord[H136] Jehovah[H3069]: Thou art my trust[H4009] from my youth[H5271].
6. By thee have I been holden up[H5564] from the womb[H990]; Thou art he that took[H1491] me out of my mother[H517]'s bowels[H4578]: My praise[H8416] shall be continually of thee[H8548].
7. I am as a wonder[H4159] unto many[H7227]; But thou art my strong[H5797] refuge[H4268].
8. My mouth[H6310] shall be filled[H4390] with thy praise[H8416], And with thy honor[H8597] all the day[H3117].
9. Cast me not off[H7993] in the time[H6256] of old age[H2209]; Forsake[H5800] me not when my strength[H3581] faileth[H3615].
10. For mine enemies[H341] speak[H559] concerning me[H8104]; And they that watch for my soul[H5315] take counsel[H3289] together[H3162],
11. Saying[H559], God[H430] hath forsaken[H5800] him[H7291]: Pursue and take[H8610] him[H5337]; For there is none to deliver.
12. O God[H430], be not far[H7368] from me[H430]; O my God, make haste[H2363] to help me[H5833].
13. Let them be put to shame[H954] and consumed[H3615] that are adversaries[H7853] to my soul[H5315]; Let them be covered[H5844] with reproach[H2781] and dishonor[H3639] that seek[H1245] my hurt[H7451].
14. But I will hope[H3176] continually[H8548], And will praise[H8416] thee yet more[H3254] and more[H3254].
15. My mouth[H6310] shall tell[H5608] of thy righteousness[H6666], And of thy salvation[H8668] all the day[H3117]; For I know[H3045] not the numbers thereof[H5615].
16. I will come[H935] with the mighty[H1369] acts of the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H136]: I will make mention[H2142] of thy righteousness[H6666], even of thine only.
17. O God[H430], thou hast taught[H3925] me from my youth[H5271]; And hitherto have I declared[H5046] thy wondrous works[H6381].
18. Yea[H5704], even when I am old[H2209] and grayheaded[H7872], O God[H430], forsake[H5800] me not[H5046], Until I have declared thy strength[H2220] unto the next generation[H1755], Thy might[H1369] to every one that is to come[H935].
19. Thy righteousness[H6666] also[H430], O God, is very high[H4791]; Thou who hast done[H6213] great things[H1419], O God[H430], who is like unto thee?
20. Thou[H7200], who hast showed us many[H7227] and sore[H7451] troubles[H6869], Wilt quicken[H2421] us again[H7725], And wilt bring us up[H5927] again[H7725] from the depths[H8415] of the earth[H776].
21. Increase[H7235] thou my greatness[H1420], And turn again[H5437] and comfort me[H5162].
22. I will also praise[H3034] thee with the psaltery[H3627], Even thy truth[H571], O my God[H430]: Unto thee will I sing[H2167] praises with the harp[H3658], O thou Holy One[H6918] of Israel[H3478].
23. My lips[H8193] shall shout for joy[H7442] when I sing[H2167] praises unto thee[H5315]; And my soul, which thou hast redeemed[H6299].
24. My tongue[H3956] also shall talk[H1897] of thy righteousness[H6666] all the day[H3117] long[H954]; For they are put to shame, for they are confounded[H954], that seek[H1245] my hurt[H7451].
