In thee, O Jehovah, do I take refuge:
Let me never be put to shame.
Deliver me in thy righteousness, and rescue me:
Bow down thine ear unto me, and save me.
Be thou to me a rock of habitation, whereunto I may continually resort:
Thou hast given commandment to save me;
For thou art my rock and my fortress.
Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked,
Out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
For thou art my hope, O Lord Jehovah:
Thou art my trust from my youth.
By thee have I been holden up from the womb;
Thou {Or, hast been my benefactor from &c.}art he that took me out of my mother's bowels:
My praise shall be continually of thee.
I am as a wonder unto many;
But thou art my strong refuge.
My mouth shall be filled with thy praise,
And with thy honor all the day.
Cast me not off in the time of old age;
Forsake me not when my strength faileth.
For mine enemies speak concerning me;
And they that watch for my soul take counsel together,
Saying, God hath forsaken him:
Pursue and take him; for there is none to deliver.
O God, be not far from me;
O my God, make haste to help me.
Let them be put to shame and consumed that are adversaries to my soul;
Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor that seek my hurt.
But I will hope continually,
And will praise thee yet more and more.
My mouth shall tell of thy righteousness,
And of thy salvation all the day;
For I know not the numbers thereof.
I will come {Or, in the strength}with the mighty acts of the Lord Jehovah:
I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.
O God, thou hast taught me from my youth;
And hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.
Yea, even {Hebrew: unto old age and gray hairs.}when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not,
Until I have declared {Hebrew: thine arm.}thy strength unto the next generation,
Thy might to every one that is to come.
Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high;
Thou who hast done great things,
O God, who is like unto thee?
Thou, who hast showed us many and sore troubles,
Wilt quicken {Another reading is, me.}us again,
And wilt bring {Another reading is, me.}us up again from the depths of the earth.
Increase thou my greatness,
And turn again and comfort me.
I will also praise thee with the psaltery,
Even thy truth, O my God:
Unto thee will I sing praises with the harp,
O thou Holy One of Israel.
My lips shall shout for joy when I sing praises unto thee;
And my soul, which thou hast redeemed.
My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long;
For they are put to shame, for they are confounded, that seek my hurt.
Querverweise zu Psalm 71,15 Ps 71,15
My mouth shall be filled with thy praise,And with thy honor all the day.
And my tongue shall talk of thy righteousnessAnd of thy praise all the day long.
Many, O Jehovah my God, are the wonderful works which thou hast done,And thy thoughts which are to us-ward; {Or, There is none to be compared unto thee}They cannot be set in order unto thee;If I would declare and speak of them,They are more than can be numbered.
My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long;For they are put to shame, for they are confounded, that seek my hurt.
In thy name do they rejoice all the day;And in thy righteousness are they exalted.
For innumerable evils have compassed me about;Mine iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up;They are more than the hairs of my head;And my heart hath {Hebrew: forsaken.}failed me.
I will declare thy name unto my brethren:In the midst of the assembly will I praise thee.
Ye that fear Jehovah, praise him;All ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him;And stand in awe of him, all ye the seed of Israel.
For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted;Neither hath he hid his face from him;But when he cried unto him, he heard.
Of thee cometh my praise in the great assembly:I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God!How great is the sum of them!
To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent.O Jehovah my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand:When I awake, I am still with thee.
I have proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great assembly;Lo, I will not refrain my lips,O Jehovah, thou knowest.
I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart;I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation;I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great assembly.
Every day will I bless thee;And I will praise thy name for ever and ever.
Of the glorious majesty of thine honor,And of thy wondrous works, will I meditate.
And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts;And I will declare thy greatness.
They shall utter the memory of thy great goodness,And shall sing of thy righteousness.
Jehovah is gracious, and merciful;Slow to anger, and of great lovingkindness.
Jehovah is good to all;And his tender mercies are over all his works.
All thy works shall give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah;And thy saints shall bless thee.
They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom,And talk of thy power;
To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts,And the glory of the majesty of his kingdom.
Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,And thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.
Jehovah upholdeth all that fall,And raiseth up all those that are bowed down.
