New King James Version
Psalms 71
1 Let me never be put to shame. 2 Incline Your ear to me, and save me. 3 For You are my rock and my fortress. 4 Out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. 5 You are my trust from my youth. 6 My praise shall be continually of You. 7 But You are my strong refuge. 8 And with Your glory all the day. 9 Do not forsake me when my strength fails. 10 And those who lie in wait for my life take counsel together, 11 Pursue and take him, for there is none to deliver him.” 12 O my God, make haste to help me! 13 Who seek my hurt. 14 And will praise You yet more and more. 15 For I do not know their limits. 16 I will make mention of Your righteousness, of Yours only. 17 And to this day I declare Your wondrous works. 18 Your power to everyone who is to come. 19 O God, who is like You? 20 And bring me up again from the depths of the earth. 21 And comfort me on every side. 22 O Holy One of Israel. 23 And my soul, which You have redeemed. 24 Who seek my hurt.
