Psalm 71:12-24

Amplified Bible

¹² 
O God, do not be far from me;
O my God, come quickly to help me!
¹³ 
Let those who attack my life be ashamed and consumed;
Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor, who seek to injure me.
¹⁴ 
But as for me, I will wait and hope continually,
And will praise You yet more and more.
¹⁵ 
My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness
And of Your [deeds of] salvation all day long,
For their number is more than I know.
¹⁶ 
I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord God [and in His strength];
I will make mention of Your righteousness, Yours alone.

¹⁷ 
O God, You have taught me from my youth,
And I still declare Your wondrous works and miraculous deeds.
¹⁸ 
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.
¹⁹ 
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]?
²⁰ 
You who have shown ^[a]me many troubles and distresses
Will revive and renew me again,
And will bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
²¹ 
May You increase my greatness (honor)
And turn to comfort me.

²² 
I will also praise You with the harp,
Your truth and faithfulness, O my God;
To You I will sing praises with the lyre,
O Holy One of Israel.
²³ 
My lips will shout for joy when I sing praises to You,
And my soul, which You have redeemed.
²⁴ 
My tongue also will speak of Your righteousness all day long;
For they are ashamed, for they are humiliated who seek my injury.
