Psalms 71:13-24 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

13. Bring to a shameful endthose who attack me;Cover with contempt and scornthose who seek my ruin.

14. I will always hope in youand add to all your praise.

15. My mouth shall proclaim your just deeds,day after day your acts of deliverance,though I cannot number them all.

16. I will speak of the mighty works of the Lord;O God, I will tell of your singular justice.

17. God, you have taught me from my youth;to this day I proclaim your wondrous deeds.

18. Now that I am old and gray,do not forsake me, God,That I may proclaim your mightto all generations yet to come,Your power

19. and justice, God,to the highest heaven.You have done great things;O God, who is your equal?

20. Whatever bitter afflictions you sent me,you would turn and revive me.From the watery depths of the earthonce more raise me up.

21. Restore my honor;turn and comfort me,

22. That I may praise you with the lyrefor your faithfulness, my God,And sing to you with the harp,O Holy One of Israel!

23. My lips will shout for joy as I sing your praise;my soul, too, which you have redeemed.

24. Yes, my tongue shall recountyour justice day by day.For those who sought my ruinhave been shamed and disgraced.
