Salmos 71

1 In thee, O Jehovah, do I take refuge:

2 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and rescue me:

3 Be thou to me a rock of habitation, whereunto I may continually resort:

4 Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked,

5 For thou art my hope, O Lord Jehovah:

6 By thee have I been holden up from the womb;

7 I am as a wonder unto many;

8 My mouth shall be filled with thy praise,

9 Cast me not off in the time of old age;

10 For mine enemies speak concerning me;

11 Saying, God hath forsaken him:

12 O God, be not far from me;

13 Let them be put to shame

14 But I will hope continually,

15 My mouth shall tell of thy righteousness,

16 I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord Jehovah:

17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth;

18 Yea, even when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not,

19 Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high;

20 Thou, who hast showed us many and sore troubles,

21 Increase thou my greatness,

22 I will also praise thee with the psaltery,

23 My lips shall shout for joy when I sing praises unto thee;

24 My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long;
