Parallel
Psalms 71
World English Bible British Edition · Berean Standard Bible
In you, LORD, I take refuge.
In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame.
Deliver me in your righteousness, and rescue me.
In Your justice, rescue and deliver me; incline Your ear and save me.
Be to me a rock of refuge to which I may always go.
Be my rock of refuge, where I can always go. Give the command to save me, for You are my rock and my fortress.
Rescue me, my God, from the hand of the wicked,
Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and ruthless.
I have relied on you from the womb.
I have leaned on You since birth; You pulled me from my mother’s womb. My praise is always for You.
My mouth shall be filled with your praise,
My mouth is filled with Your praise and with Your splendor all day long.
Don’t reject me in my old age.
Do not discard me in my old age; do not forsake me when my strength fails.
For my enemies talk about me.
For my enemies speak against me, and those who lie in wait for my life conspire,
saying, “God has forsaken him.
saying, “God has forsaken him; pursue him and seize him, for there is no one to rescue him.”
Let my accusers be disappointed and consumed.
May the accusers of my soul be ashamed and consumed; may those who seek my harm be covered with scorn and disgrace.
My mouth will tell about your righteousness,
My mouth will declare Your righteousness and Your salvation all day long, though I cannot know their full measure.
I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord GOD.
I will come in the strength of the Lord GOD; I will proclaim Your righteousness—Yours alone.
God, you have taught me from my youth.
O God, You have taught me from my youth, and to this day I proclaim Your marvelous deeds.
Yes, even when I am old and grey-haired, God, don’t forsake me,
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.
God, your righteousness also reaches to the heavens.
Your righteousness reaches to the heavens, O God, You who have done great things. Who, O God, is like You?
You, who have shown us many and bitter troubles,
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.
I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, my God.
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 shall shout for joy!
When I sing praise to You my lips will shout for joy, along with my soul, which You have redeemed.
My tongue will also talk about your righteousness all day long,
My tongue will indeed proclaim Your righteousness all day long, for those who seek my harm are disgraced and confounded.
