Psalms 71

71
PSALM 71
1Lord, I hoped in thee; be I not shamed without end;
2in thy rightwiseness deliver thou me, and ravish me out. Bow down thine ear to me; and make me safe.
3Be thou to me into God a defender; and into a strengthened place, that thou make me safe. For thou art my steadfastness; and my refuge.
4My God, deliver thou me from the hand of the sinner; and from the hand of a man doing against the law, and of the wicked man.
5For thou, Lord, art my patience; Lord, thou art mine hope from my youth.
6In thee I am confirmed, that is, defended, from the womb; thou art my defender from the womb of my mother. My singing is ever[more] in thee;
7I am made as a great wonder to many men; and thou art a strong helper.
8My mouth be filled with praising; that I sing thy glory, all day thy great-ness.
9Cast thou not away me in the time of eld age /in the time of oldness; when my strength faileth, forsake thou not me.
10For mine enemies said of me; and they that kept my life made counsel together.
11Saying, God hath forsaken him; pursue ye, and take him; for none there is that shall deliver.
12God, be thou not made afar from me; my God, behold thou into mine help.
13Men that backbite my soul, be shamed, and fail they; and be they covered with reproof and shame, that seek evils to me.
14But I shall hope ever[more]; and I shall add to ever over all thy praising.
15My mouth shall tell thy rightful-ness [or rightwiseness]; all day thine health. For I knew not by literature, that is, by man’s teaching, but by God’s revelation,
16I shall enter into the powers of the Lord; Lord, I shall bethink on thy rightfulness [or rightwiseness] alone.
17God, thou hast taught me from my youth, and till to now; I shall tell out thy marvels.
18And till into eld age /into oldness, and the last age; God, forsake thou not me. Till I tell thine arm, or power, to each generation that shall come.
19 Till I tell of thy might, and thy rightfulness [or rightwiseness], God, till into the highest great deeds which thou hast done; God, who is like thee?
20How great tribulations, many and evil, hast thou showed to me; and thou converted, hast quickened me, and hast again-brought me again from the depths of earth.
21Thou hast multiplied thy great doing; and thou converted, hast comforted me.
22For why and I shall acknowledge to thee, thou God, thy truth in the instruments of psalm; I shall sing in an harp to thee, that art the holy of Israel.
23My lips shall make fully joy [or full out joy], when I shall sing to thee; and my soul, which thou again-boughtest.
24But and my tongue shall think all day on thy rightfulness [or rightwise-ness]; when they shall be shamed and ashamed, that seek evils to me.
