Psalms 71:8-24

⁸My mouth shall be filled with Thy praise, and with Thy glory all the day.

⁹Cast me not off in the time of old age; when my strength faileth, forsake me not.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁸And 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.

¹⁹Thy righteousness also, O God, which reacheth unto high heaven; Thou who hast done great things, O God, who is like unto Thee?

²⁰Thou, who hast made me to see many and sore troubles, wilt quicken me again, and bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

²¹Thou wilt increase my greatness, and turn and comfort me.

²²I also will give thanks unto Thee with the psaltery, even unto Thy truth, O my God; I will sing praises unto Thee with the harp, O Thou Holy One of Israel.

²³My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing praises unto Thee; and my soul, which Thou hast redeemed.

²⁴My tongue also shall tell of Thy righteousness all the day; for they are ashamed, for they are abashed, that seek my hurt.
