Old Testament

New Testament

Psalms 71 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

1. Lord, I seek refuge in You;let me never be disgraced.

God’s Help in Old Age

2. In Your justice, rescue and deliver me;listen closely to me and save me.

3. Be a rock of refuge for me,where I can always go.Give the command to save me,for You are my rock and fortress.

4. Deliver me, my God, from the power of the wicked,from the grasp of the unjust and oppressive.

5. For You are my hope, Lord God,my confidence from my youth.

6. I have leaned on You from birth;You took me from my mother’s womb. My praise is always about You.

7. I have become an ominous sign to many,but You are my strong refuge.

8. My mouth is full of praiseand honor to You all day long.

9. Don’t discard me in my old age;as my strength fails, do not abandon me.

10. For my enemies talk about me,and those who spy on me plot together,

11. saying, “God has abandoned him;chase him and catch him,for there is no one to rescue him.”

12. God, do not be far from me;my God, hurry to help me.

13. May my adversaries be disgraced and destroyed;may those who seek my harmbe covered with disgrace and humiliation.

14. But I will hope continuallyand will praise You more and more.

15. My mouth will tell about Your righteousnessand Your salvation all day long,though I cannot sum them up.

16. I come because of the mighty acts of the Lord God;I will proclaim Your righteousness, Yours alone.

17. God, You have taught me from my youth,and I still proclaim Your wonderful works.

18. Even when I am old and gray,God, do not abandon me. Then I will proclaim Your powerto another generation,Your strength to all who are to come.

19. Your righteousness reaches heaven, God,You who have done great things;God, who is like You?

20. You caused me to experiencemany troubles and misfortunes, but You will revive me again. You will bring me up again,even from the depths of the earth.

21. You will increase my honorand comfort me once again.

22. Therefore, I will praise You with a harpfor Your faithfulness, my God;I will sing to You with a lyre,Holy One of Israel.

23. My lips will shout for joywhen I sing praise to Youbecause You have redeemed me.

24. Therefore, my tongue will proclaimYour righteousness all day long,for those who seek my harmwill be disgraced and confounded.
