PSALMS 诗篇071

PSALM¹ 71
1In you, O Lord , I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame.
2Rescue me and deliver me in your righteousness; turn your ear to me and save me.
3Be my rock of refuge, to which I can always go; give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress².
4Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of evil and cruel men.
5For you have been my hope, O Sovereign Lord , my confidence since my youth.
6From birth I have relied on you; you brought me forth³ from my mother's womb. I will ever praise you.
7I have become like a portent⁴ to many, but you are my strong refuge.
8My mouth is filled with your praise, declaring your splendor⁵ all day long.
9Do not cast me away when I am old; do not forsake⁶ me when my strength is gone.
10For my enemies speak against me; those who wait to kill me conspire⁷ together.
11They say, "God has forsaken⁸ him; pursue him and seize him, for no one will rescue him."
12Be not far from me, O God; come quickly, O my God, to help me.
13May my accusers perish in shame; may those who want to harm me be covered with scorn and disgrace.
14But as for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more.
15My mouth will tell of your righteousness, of your salvation⁹ all day long, though I know not its measure.
16I will come and proclaim your mighty¹⁰ acts, O Sovereign Lord ; I will proclaim your righteousness, yours alone.
17Since my youth, O God, you have taught me, and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds.
18Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, O God, till I declare your power to the next generation, your might to all who are to come.
19Your righteousness reaches to the skies, O God, you who have done great things. Who, O God, is like you?
20Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again; from the depths of the earth you will again bring me up.
21You will increase my honor and comfort me once again.
22I will praise you with the harp¹¹ for your faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praise to you with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel.
23My lips will shout for joy when I sing praise to you- I, whom you have redeemed¹².
24My tongue will tell of your righteous acts all day long, for those who wanted to harm me have been put to shame and confusion.
