Psalm 71:11-23 American Standard Version (ASV)

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.

21. Increase thou my greatness, And turn again and comfort me.

22. I will also praise thee with the psaltery, Even thy truth, O my God: Unto thee will I sing praises with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.

23. My lips shall shout for joy when I sing praises unto thee; And my soul, which thou hast redeemed.
