Psalms 71:11-24 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

11. Saying, `God hath forsaken him, Pursue and catch him, for there is no deliverer.'

12. O God, be not far from me, O my God, for my help make haste.

13. They are ashamed, they are consumed, Who are opposing my soul, They are covered [with] reproach and blushing, Who are seeking my evil,

14. And I continually do wait with hope, And have added unto all Thy praise.

15. My mouth recounteth Thy righteousness, All the day Thy salvation, For I have not known the numbers.

16. I come in the might of the Lord Jehovah, I mention Thy righteousness--Thine only.

17. God, Thou hast taught me from my youth, And hitherto I declare Thy wonders.

18. And also unto old age and grey hairs, O God, forsake me not, Till I declare Thy strength to a generation, To every one that cometh Thy might.

19. And Thy righteousness, O God, [is] unto the heights, Because Thou hast done great things, O God, who [is] like Thee?

20. Because Thou hast showed me many and sad distresses, Thou turnest back--Thou revivest me, And from the depths of the earth, Thou turnest back--Thou bringest me up.

21. Thou dost increase my greatness, And Thou surroundest--Thou comfortest me,

22. I also thank Thee with a vessel of psaltery, Thy truth, O my God, I sing to Thee with a harp, O Holy One of Israel,

23. My lips cry aloud when I sing praise to Thee, And my soul that Thou hast redeemed,

24. My tongue also all the day uttereth Thy righteousness, Because ashamed--because confounded, Have been those seeking my evil!
