Psalm 71:11-20

English Standard Version

¹² O God, be not ^(A)far from me;
    O my God, ^(B)make haste to help me!
¹³ May my accusers be ^(C)put to shame and consumed;
    ^(D)with scorn and disgrace may they be covered
    who ^(E)seek my hurt.
¹⁴ But I will ^(F)hope continually
    and will ^(G)praise you yet more and more.
¹⁵ My ^(H)mouth will tell of your righteous acts,
    of your deeds of salvation all the day,
    for ^(I)their number is past my knowledge.
¹⁶ With the mighty deeds of the Lord God I will come;
    I will remind them of your righteousness, yours alone.

¹⁷ O God, from my youth you have taught me,
    and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds.
¹⁸ So even to ^(J)old age and gray hairs,
    O God, ^(K)do not forsake me,
until I proclaim your might to another generation,
    your power to all those to come.
¹⁹ Your ^(L)righteousness, O God,
    reaches the high heavens.
You who have done ^(M)great things,
    O God, ^(N)who is like you?
²⁰ You who have ^(O)made me see many troubles and calamities
    will ^(P)revive me again;
from the depths of the earth
    you will bring me up again.
