New Testament

Psalms 71:7-19 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

7. I have become a portent to many,but you are my strong refuge!

8. My mouth shall be filled with your praise,shall sing your glory every day.

9. Do not cast me aside in my old age;as my strength fails, do not forsake me.

10. For my enemies speak against me;they watch and plot against me.

11. They say, “God has abandoned him.Pursue, and seize him!No one will come to the rescue!”

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

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?
