Psalms 71:11-24 Modern English Version (MEV)

11. saying, “God has forsaken him;pursue and catch him,for there is none to deliver him.”

12. O God, do not be far from me;O my God, act quickly to help me.

13. May the adversaries of my life be ashamed and confused;may those who seek my harmbe enveloped in scorn and dishonor.

14. But I will hope continually,and will add to all Your praise.

15. My mouth will declare Your righteousnessand Your salvation all the day,for I cannot know their numbers.

16. I will go in the strength of the Lord God;I will make mention of Your righteousness, of Yours only.

17. O God, You have taught me from my youth;and until now I have proclaimed Your wondrous works.

18. Now also when I am old and gray,O God, do not forsake me,until I have proclaimed Your strength to this generation,and Your power to everyone who is to come.

19. Your righteousness, O God, reaches to the heights;You have done great deeds;O God, who is like You?

20. You who have shown me great distresses and troubleswill revive me again,and will bring me up againfrom the depths of the earth.

21. You will increase my greatness,and You will encircle and comfort me.

22. I will give You thanks with the harp,even Your truth, O my God;to You I will sing with the lyre,O Holy One of Israel.

23. My lips will rejoicewhen I sing to You,and my soul, which You have redeemed.

24. My tongue also will speak of Your righteousnessall the day long;for those who seek my harm are ashamed,for they have been put to shame.
