Psalm 71:5-18
New International Version
5 For you have been my hope,(A) Sovereign Lord,
my confidence(B) since my youth.
6 From birth(C) I have relied on you;
you brought me forth from my mother’s womb.(D)
I will ever praise(E) you.
7 I have become a sign(F) to many;
you are my strong refuge.(G)
8 My mouth(H) is filled with your praise,
declaring your splendor(I) all day long.
9 Do not cast(J) me away when I am old;(K)
do not forsake(L) me when my strength is gone.
10 For my enemies(M) speak against me;
those who wait to kill(N) me conspire(O) together.
11 They say, “God has forsaken(P) him;
pursue him and seize him,
for no one will rescue(Q) him.”
12 Do not be far(R) from me, my God;
come quickly, God, to help(S) me.
13 May my accusers(T) perish in shame;(U)
may those who want to harm me
be covered with scorn and disgrace.(V)
14 As for me, I will always have hope;(W)
I will praise you more and more.
15 My mouth will tell(X) of your righteous deeds,(Y)
of your saving acts all day long—
though I know not how to relate them all.
16 I will come and proclaim your mighty acts,(Z) Sovereign Lord;
I will proclaim your righteous deeds, yours alone.
17 Since my youth, God, you have taught(AA) me,
and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds.(AB)
18 Even when I am old and gray,(AC)
do not forsake me, my God,
till I declare your power(AD) to the next generation,
your mighty acts to all who are to come.(AE)
