Chapter 71 | |
1 | In thee, O YHVH, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion. |
2 | Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me. |
3 | Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress. |
4 | Deliver me, O my ELOHIYM, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. |
5 | For thou art my hope, O ADONAY YHVH: thou art my trust from my youth. |
6 | By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise shall be continually of thee. |
7 | I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge. |
8 | Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day. |
9 | Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth. |
10 | For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together, |
11 | Saying, ELOHIYM hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him. |
12 | O ELOHIYM, be not far from me: O my ELOHIYM, make haste for my help. |
13 | Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt. |
14 |
But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more. |
15 | My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof. |
16 |
I will go in the strength of the ADONAY YHVH: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only. |
17 | O ELOHIYM, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works. |
18 | Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O ELOHIYM, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come. |
19 | Thy righteousness also, O ELOHIYM, is very high, who hast done great things: O ELOHIYM, who is like unto thee! |
20 | Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth. |
21 | Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side. |
22 |
I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my ELOHIYM: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel. |
23 | My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed. |
24 | My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt. |
