Psalms 71:8-20 in English

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.

¹⁵ My mouth shall tell of thy righteousness, And of thy salvation all the day; For I know not the numbers thereof.

¹⁶ I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord Jehovah: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.

¹⁷ O God, thou hast taught me from my youth; And hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.

¹⁸ Yea, even when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not, Until I have declared thy strength unto the next generation, Thy might to every one that is to come.

¹⁹ Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high; Thou who hast done great things, O God, who is like unto thee?

²⁰ Thou, who hast showed us many and sore troubles, Wilt quicken us again, And wilt bring us up again from the depths of the earth.

⁸ And he shall have dominion from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth.

⁹ The Ethiopians shall fall down before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.

¹⁰ The kings of Tharsis, and the isles, shall bring presents: the kings of the Arabians and Saba shall offer gifts.

¹¹ And all kings shall worship him; all the Gentiles shall serve him.

¹² For he has delivered the poor from the oppressor; and the needy who had no helper.

¹³ He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall deliver the souls of the needy.

¹⁴ He shall redeem their souls from usury and injustice: and their name shall be precious before him.

¹⁵ And he shall live, and there shall be given him of the gold of Arabia: and men shall pray for him continually; and all the day shall they praise him.

¹⁶ There shall be an establishment on the earth on the tops of the mountains: the fruit thereof shall be exalted above Libanus, and they of the city shall flourish as grass of the earth.

¹⁷ Let his name be blessed for ever: his name shall endure longer than the sun: and all the tribes of the earth shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.

¹⁸ Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, who alone does wonders.

¹⁹ And blessed is his glorious name for ever, even for ever and ever: and all the earth shall be filled with his glory. So be it, so be it.

²⁰ The hymns of David the son of Jessæ are ended.

⁸ Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour 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 against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,

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

¹² O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.

¹³ Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.

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

¹⁵ My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.

¹⁶ I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.

¹⁷ O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.

¹⁸ Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.

¹⁹ Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee!

²⁰ Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

⁸ Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour 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 against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,

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

¹² O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.

¹³ Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.

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

¹⁵ My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.

¹⁶ I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.

¹⁹ Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee!

²⁰ Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

⁸ And he shall have dominion from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth.

⁹ The Ethiopians shall fall down before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.

¹⁰ The kings of Tharsis, and the isles, shall bring presents: the kings of the Arabians and Saba shall offer gifts.

¹¹ And all kings shall worship him; all the Gentiles shall serve him.

¹² For he has delivered the poor from the oppressor; and the needy who had no helper.

¹³ He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall deliver the souls of the needy.

¹⁴ He shall redeem their souls from usury and injustice: and their name shall be precious before him.

¹⁸ Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, who alone does wonders.

¹⁹ And blessed is his glorious name for ever, even for ever and ever: and all the earth shall be filled with his glory. So be it, so be it.

²⁰ The hymns of David the son of Jessae are ended.

⁸ My mouth shall be filled with thy praise, and with thy honour 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 ashamed and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.

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

¹⁵ My mouth shall tell of thy righteousness, and of thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.

¹⁶ I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.

¹⁷ O God, thou hast taught me from my youth; and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.

¹⁸ Yea, even when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have declared thy strength unto the next generation, thy might to every one that is to come.

¹⁹ Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high; thou who hast done great things, O God, who is like unto thee?

²⁰ Thou, which hast shewed us many and sore troubles, shalt quicken us again, and shalt bring us up again from the depths of the earth.

⁸ I praise you all day long, and I proclaim that you are glorious/wonderful.

⁹ Now, when I have become an old man, do not reject/abandon me; do not abandon me now, when I am not strong anymore.

¹⁰ My enemies say that they want to kill me; they plan together how they can do that.

¹¹ They say about me, “God has abandoned him; so now we can pursue him and seize him, because there is no one who will rescue him.”

¹² God, do not stay far away from me; hurry to help me!

¹³ Cause those who ◄accuse me/say that I have done things that are wrong► to be defeated and destroyed; cause those who want to harm me to be shamed and disgraced.

¹⁴ But as for me, I will continually and confidently expect you to do great things for me, and I will praise you more and more.

¹⁵ I will tell people that you do what is right; all day long I will tell people how you have saved me, although what you have done is more than I can fully understand.

¹⁶ Yahweh, my Lord, I will praise you for your mighty deeds; I will proclaim that only you always act justly.

¹⁷ God, you have taught me many/those things ever since I was young, and I still tell people about your wonderful deeds.

¹⁸ And now, God, when I am old and my hair is gray, do not abandon me. Stay with me while I continue to proclaim to my children and grandchildren HYP that you are very powerful!

¹⁹ God, you do many righteous deeds; it is as though they extend up to the sky. You have done great things; there is no one like you RHQ.

²⁰ You have caused me to have many troubles and to suffer much, but you will cause me to become strong again; when I am almost dead HYP, you will keep me alive.

²⁰ The hymns of David the son of Jessae are ended.

⁸ My mouth shall be filled with your praise, with your honor all day long.

⁹ Don’t reject me in my old age. Don’t forsake me when my strength fails.

¹¹ saying, “God has forsaken him. Pursue and take him, for no one will rescue him.”

¹² God, don’t be far from me. My God, hurry to help me.

¹³ Let my accusers be disappointed and consumed. Let them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to harm me.

¹⁶ I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord Yahweh. I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours alone.

¹⁷ Let his name be blessed for evermore: his name continueth before the sun. And in him shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed: all nations shall magnify him.

¹⁸ Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who alone doth wonderful things.

¹⁹ And blessed be the name of his majesty for ever: and the whole earth shall be filled with his majesty. So be it. So be it.

²⁰ The praises of David, the son of Jesse, are ended.

⁸ All day long I am full of praise for you, telling how wonderful you are!

⁹ Don't reject me now I'm getting old. When my strength is gone, please don't abandon me.

¹⁰ For my enemies are talking about me; those who want to kill me are plotting together.

¹¹ They say, “God has given up on him. Let's go after him because there's no one to save him.”

²⁰ You had me face many troubles and plenty of misery, but you will bring me back to life; you will rise me up from the depths of the earth.

⁸ Let my mouth be filled with thy praise, and with thy glory euery day.

¹⁰ For mine enemies speake of mee, and they that lay waite for my soule, take their counsell together,

¹¹ Saying, God hath forsaken him: pursue and take him, for there is none to deliuer him.

¹² Goe not farre from me, O God: my God, haste thee to helpe me.

¹³ Let them be confounded and consumed that are against my soule: let them be couered with reproofe and confusion, that seeke mine hurt.

¹⁴ But I will waite continually, and will praise thee more and more.

¹⁵ My mouth shall daily rehearse thy righteousnesse, and thy saluation: for I knowe not the nomber.

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

¹³ Let them be ashamed and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and confusion that seek my hurt.

¹⁴ But as for me, I will hope continually, and will praise Thee yet more and more.

¹⁵ My mouth shall tell of Thy righteousness, and of Thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.

¹⁶ I will come with Thy mighty acts, O Lord GOD; I will make mention of Thy righteousness, even of Thine only.

¹⁷ O God, Thou hast taught me from my youth; and until now do I declare Thy wondrous works.

¹⁸ And even unto old age and hoary hairs, O God, forsake me not; until I have declared Thy strength unto the next generation, Thy might to every one that is to come.

¹⁹ Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, Who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee!

²⁰ Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, Shalt quicken me again, And shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

¹⁰ For my enemies speak of me; and they that watch for my soul take counsel together,

¹⁹ For thy goodness, O God! reacheth to the heavens; Wonderful things doest thou! O God! who is like unto thee?

²⁰ Thou hast suffered us to see great and grievous troubles; Thou wilt again give us life, And wilt bring us back from the depths of the earth!

⁸ All the day long my mouth is filled with your praise and your glory.

¹⁶ I come in the might of the Lord Jehovah, I mention Thy righteousness — Thine only.

¹⁷ God, Thou hast taught me from my youth, And hitherto I declare Thy wonders.

¹⁸ And also unto old age and grey hairs, O God, forsake me not, Till I declare Thy strength to a generation, To every one that cometh Thy might.

¹⁹ And Thy righteousness, O God, is unto the heights, Because Thou hast done great things, O God, who is like Thee?

²⁰ Because Thou hast showed me many and sad distresses, Thou turnest back — Thou revivest me, And from the depths of the earth, Thou turnest back — Thou bringest me up.
