Psalms 71 NASB - New American Standard BibleNo. 71 of the Psalms—New American Standard Bible (NASB)
- ¶ 1In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge;
Let me never be ashamed. - 2In Your righteousness deliver me and rescue me;
3Incline Your ear to me and save me. - 4Be to me a rock of 5habitation to which I may continually come;
You have given 6commandment to save me,
For You are 7my [a]rock and my fortress. - 8Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked,
Out of the [b]grasp of the wrongdoer and ruthless man, - For You are my 9hope;
O Lord [c]GOD, You are my 10confidence from my youth. - [d]By You I have been 11sustained from my birth;
You are He who 12took me from my mother’s womb;
My 13praise is continually [e]of You. - ¶ I have become a 14marvel to many,
For You are 15my strong refuge. - My 16mouth is filled with Your praise
And with 17Your glory all day long. - Do not cast me off in the 18time of old age;
Do not forsake me when my strength fails. - For my enemies have spoken [f]against me;
And those who 19watch for my [g]life 20have consulted together, - Saying, “21God has forsaken him;
Pursue and seize him, for there is 22no one to deliver.” - ¶ O God, 23do not be far from me;
O my God, 24hasten to my help! - Let those who are adversaries of my soul be 25ashamed and consumed;
Let them be 26covered with reproach and dishonor, who 27seek [h]to injure me. - But as for me, I will 28hope continually,
And will [i]29praise You yet more and more. - My 30mouth shall tell of Your righteousness
And of 31Your salvation all day long;
For I 32do not know the [j]sum of them. - I will come 33with the mighty deeds of the Lord [k]GOD;
I will 34make mention of Your righteousness, Yours alone. - ¶ O God, You 35have taught me from my youth,
And I still 36declare Your wondrous deeds. - And even when I am 37old and gray, O God, do not forsake me,
Until I 38declare Your [l]strength to this generation,
Your power to all who are to come. - [m]For Your 39righteousness, O God, reaches to the [n]heavens,
You who have 40done great things;
O God, 41who is like You? - You who have 42shown [o]me many troubles and distresses
Will 43revive [p]me again,
And will bring [q]me up again 44from the depths of the earth. - May You increase my 45greatness
And turn to 46comfort me. - ¶ I will also praise You with [r]47a harp,
Even Your [s]truth, O my God;
To You I will sing praises with the 48lyre,
O 49Holy One of Israel. - My lips will 50shout for joy when I sing praises to You;
And my 51soul, which You have redeemed. - My 52tongue also will utter Your righteousness all day long;
For they are 53ashamed, for they are humiliated who seek [t]my hurt.
