Psalms 71:12-22 Good News Bible Catholic Edition (GNBDK)

12. Don't stay so far away, O God;my God, hurry to my aid!

13. May those who attack mebe defeated and destroyed.May those who try to hurt mebe shamed and disgraced.

14. I will always put my hope in you;I will praise you more and more.

15. I will tell of your goodness;all day long I will speak of your salvation,though it is more than I can understand.

16. I will go in the strength of the Lord God;I will proclaim your goodness, yours alone.

17. You have taught me ever since I was young,and I still tell of your wonderful acts.

18. Now that I am old and my hair is grey,do not abandon me, O God!Be with me while I proclaim your power and mightto all generations to come.

19. Your righteousness, God, reaches the skies.You have done great things;there is no one like you.

20. You have sent troubles and suffering on me,but you will restore my strength;you will keep me from the grave.

21. You will make me greater than ever;you will comfort me again.

22. I will indeed praise you with the harp;I will praise your faithfulness, my God.On my harp I will play hymns to you,the Holy One of Israel.
