Psalms 71:11-24 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

11. Saying, "God has forsaken him; Pursue and seize him, for there is no one to deliver."

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

13. Let those who are adversaries of my soul be ashamed and consumed; Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor, who seek to injure me.

14. But as for me, I will hope continually, And will praise You yet more and more.

15. My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness And of Your salvation all day long; For I do not know the sum of them.

16. I will come with the mighty deeds of the Lord God; I will make mention of Your righteousness, Yours alone.

17. O God, You have taught me from my youth, And I still declare Your wondrous deeds.

18. And even when I am old and gray, O God, do not forsake me, Until I declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to all who are to come.

19. For Your righteousness, O God, reaches to the heavens, You who have done great things; O God, who is like You?

20. You who have shown me many troubles and distresses Will revive me again, And will bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

21. May You increase my greatness And turn to comfort me.

22. I will also praise You with a harp, Even Your truth, O my God; To You I will sing praises with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel.

23. My lips will shout for joy when I sing praises to You; And my soul, which You have redeemed.

24. My tongue also will utter Your righteousness all day long; For they are ashamed, for they are humiliated who seek my hurt.
