O God, Do Not Forsake Me

71 (A)In You, O Yahweh, I have taken refuge;
Let me never be ashamed.
(B)In Your righteousness deliver me and protect me;
(C)Incline Your ear to me and save me.
(D)Be to me a rock of (E)habitation to which I may continually come;
You have given the (F)command to save me,
For You are (G)my [a]rock and my fortress.
(H)Protect me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked,
Out of the [b]grasp of the unrighteous and ruthless man,
For You are my (I)hope;
O Lord Yahweh, You are my (J)trust from my youth.
[c]By You I have been (K)sustained from my birth;
You are He who (L)took me from my mother’s womb;
My (M)praise is continually [d]of You.

I have become a (N)marvel to many,
For You are (O)my strong refuge.
My (P)mouth is filled with Your praise
And with (Q)Your beauty all day long.
Do not cast me off in the (R)time of old age;
Do not forsake me when my strength fails.
10 For my enemies have spoken [e]against me;
And those who (S)watch my [f]life (T)have counseled together,
11 Saying, “(U)God has forsaken him;
Pursue and seize him, for there is (V)no one to deliver.”

12 O God, (W)do not be far from me;
O my God, (X)hasten to my help!
13 Let those who accuse my soul be (Y)ashamed and consumed;
Let them be (Z)wrapped up with reproach and dishonor, who (AA)seek [g]to do me evil.
14 But as for me, I will (AB)wait continually,
And will [h](AC)praise You yet more and more.
15 My (AD)mouth shall recount Your righteousness
And (AE)Your salvation all day long;
For I (AF)do not know the [i]sum of them.
16 I will come (AG)with the mighty deeds of Lord Yahweh;
I will (AH)bring to remembrance Your righteousness, Yours alone.

17 O God, You (AI)have taught me from my youth,
And I still (AJ)declare Your wondrous deeds.
18 And even when I am (AK)old and gray, O God, do not forsake me,
Until I (AL)declare Your [j]strength to this generation,
Your might to all who are to come.
19 [k]For Your (AM)righteousness, O God, reaches to the [l]heavens,
You who have (AN)done great things;
O God, (AO)who is like You?
20 You, who have (AP)shown [m]me many troubles and [n]evils,
Will (AQ)revive [o]me again,
And will bring [p]me up again (AR)from the depths of the earth.
21 May You increase my (AS)greatness
And turn to (AT)comfort me.

22 I will also praise You with [q](AU)a harp,
Even Your [r]truth, O my God;
To You I will sing praises with the (AV)lyre,
O (AW)Holy One of Israel.
23 My lips will (AX)sing for joy when I sing praises to You;
And my (AY)soul, which You have redeemed.
24 My (AZ)tongue also will utter Your righteousness all day long;
For they are (BA)ashamed, for they are humiliated who seek [s]to do me evil.

Isugilon ang Gihimo sa Dios Hangtod sa Kahangtoran

71 Kanimo, Ginoo, nagadangop ako.
Ayaw itugot nga maulawan ako.
Tabangi ako ug luwasa tungod kay ikaw matarong.
Pamatia ako ug luwasa.
Sama ka sa salipdanan nga bato alang kanako;
kanimo ako kanunay modangop.
Nagsugo ka nga luwason ako, kay ikaw ang akong salipdanan nga bato ug lig-ong tagoanan.
O Dios ko, luwasa ako gikan sa kamot sa daotan ug bangis nga mga tawo.
Kay ikaw ang akong paglaom, Ginoong Dios.
Sukad sa bata pa ako, misalig na ako kanimo.
Sukad sa akong pagkatawo misalig ako kanimo ug gipanalipdan mo ako.[a]
Dayegon ko ikaw sa walay kataposan.
Nahimong panig-ingnan ang akong kinabuhi sa kadaghanan,
tungod kay ikaw ang akong lig-ong tigpanalipod.
Dayegon ko kanunay ang imong pagkagamhanan.
Ayaw ako isalikway kon ako tigulang na.
Ayaw ako pasagdi kon ako maluya na.
10 Kay ang akong mga kaaway nagtigom ug nagsabot mahitungod kanako;
buot nila akong patyon.
11 Miingon sila, “Gipasagdan na siya sa Dios,
busa gukdon nato siya ug dakpon kay wala nay motabang kaniya.”
12 O Dios ko, ayaw pagpahilayo kanako;
tabangi dayon ako.
13 Hinaut pa nga ang mga nagbutang-butang kanako maulawan ug malaglag.
Hinaut pa nga ang buot modagmal kanako maulawan ug biay-biayon.
14 Apan ako, O Dios, molaom kanunay kanimo,
ug mosamot pa gayod ang akong pagdayeg kanimo.
15 Isugilon ko kanunay ang matarong mong mga binuhatan sa pagluwas sa imong katawhan,
bisan kon dili ko kini matugkad.
16 Moadto ako sa imong templo, Ginoong Dios, ug modayeg kanimo tungod sa imong gamhanang mga buhat.
Imantala ko ang imo lamang nga pagkamatarong.
17 O Dios, sukad sa bata pa ako, gitudloan mo na ako mahitungod sa imong katingalahang mga gipangbuhat,
ug hangtod karon gisugilon ko kini.
18 Ug kon tigulang na ako ug ubanon, ayaw ako pasagdi, O Dios,
hangtod nga ikasugilon ko ang imong gahom ug kusog sa umaabot nga mga henerasyon.
19 Ang imong pagkamatarong, O Dios, dili matugkad.
Katingalahan ang imong mga gipangbuhat; wala gayoy sama kanimo.
20 Bisan gipatagamtam mo ako ug daghang mga pag-antos,
hatagan mo gihapon ako ug bag-ong kinabuhi;
mahisama ako sa patay nga buhion mo pag-usab.
21 Himuon mo akong mas labaw pang dungganon,
ug lipayon mo ako pag-usab.
22 O Dios ko, tungod sa imong pagkamatinumanon dayegon ko ikaw pinaagi sa pagtukar sa harpa.
Awitan ko ikaw ug mga pagdayeg nga dinuyogan sa harpa, O Balaan nga Dios sa Israel.
23 Mosinggit ako sa kalipay samtang nagaawit ako ug mga pagdayeg kanimo tungod kay giluwas mo ako.
24 Isugilon ko kanunay ang imong pagkamatarong,
kay ang mga tawong buot modagmal kanako naulawan.

  1. 71:6 gipanalipdan mo ako: Mao kini sa Septuagint, apan sa Hebreo dili kini klaro.

71 In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.

Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me.

Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.

Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.

For thou art my hope, O Lord God: thou art my trust from my youth.

By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise shall be continually of thee.

I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge.

Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day.

Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.

10 For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,

11 Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him.

12 O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.

13 Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.

14 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.

15 My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.

16 I will go in the strength of the Lord God: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.

17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.

18 Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.

19 Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee!

20 Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

21 Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.

22 I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.

23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.

24 My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.
