Psalms 71:11-20

Saying, “God has abandoned him; Pursue and seize him, for there is no one to rescue him.” ¶O God, do not be far from me; O my God, come quickly to help me! Let those who attack my life be ashamed and consumed; Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor, who seek to injure me. But as for me, I will wait and hope continually, And will praise You yet more and more. My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness And of Your [deeds of] salvation all day long, For their number is more than I know. I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord GOD [and in His strength]; I will make mention of Your righteousness, Yours alone. ¶O God, You have taught me from my youth, And I still declare Your wondrous works and miraculous deeds. And even when I am old and gray-headed, O God, do not abandon me, Until I declare Your [mighty] strength to this generation, Your power to all who are to come. Your righteousness, O God, reaches to the [height of the] heavens, You who have done great things; O God, who is like You, [who is Your equal]? You who have shown me many troubles and distresses Will revive and renew me again, And will bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
