Psalms 71:1-14 in English

¹ In thee, O Jehovah, do I take refuge: Let me never be put to shame.

² Deliver me in thy righteousness, and rescue me: Bow down thine ear unto me, and save me.

³ Be thou to me a rock of habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: Thou hast given commandment to save me; For thou art my rock and my fortress.

⁴ Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, Out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.

⁵ For thou art my hope, O Lord Jehovah: 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 My mouth shall be filled with thy praise, And with thy honor 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 concerning me; And they that watch for my soul take counsel together,

¹¹ Saying, God hath forsaken him: Pursue and take him; for there is none to deliver.

¹² O God, be not far from me; O my God, make haste to help me.

¹³ Let them be put to shame and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor that seek my hurt.

¹⁴ But I will hope continually, And will praise thee yet more and more.
