Psalms 71:1-14 - NASB Online

PSALMS 71:1-14

Prayer of an Old Man for Deliverance.

71:1 In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge;

Let me never be ashamed.

2 In Your righteousness deliver me and rescue me;

Incline Your ear to me and save me.

3 Be to me a rock of habitation to which I may continually come;

You have given commandment to save me,

For You are my rock and my fortress.

4 Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked,

Out of the grasp of the wrongdoer and ruthless man,

5 For You are my hope;

O Lord GOD, You are my confidence from my youth.

6 By You I have been sustained from my birth;

You are He who took me from my mother’s womb;

My praise is continually of You.

7 I have become a marvel to many,

For You are my strong refuge.

8 My mouth is filled with Your praise

And with Your glory all day long.

9 Do not cast me off in the time of old age;

Do not forsake me when my strength fails.

10 For my enemies have spoken against me;

And those who watch for my life have consulted together,

11 Saying, “God has forsaken him;

Pursue and seize him, for there is no one to deliver.”

12 O God, do not be far from me;

O my God, hasten to my help!

13 Let those who are adversaries of my soul be ashamed and consumed;

Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor, who seek to injure me.

14 But as for me, I will hope continually,

And will praise You yet more and more.
