Psalm 71 (WEBP)

[1] In you, Yahweh, I take refuge. Never let me be disappointed.
[2] Deliver me in your righteousness, and rescue me. Turn your ear to me, and save me.
[3] Be to me a rock of refuge to which I may always go. Give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.
[4] Rescue me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
[5] For you are my hope, Lord Yahweh, my confidence from my youth.
[6] I have relied on you from the womb. You are he who took me out of my mother’s womb. I will always praise you.
[7] I am a marvel to many, but you are my strong refuge.
[8] My mouth shall be filled with your praise, with your honor all day long.
[9] Don’t reject me in my old age. Don’t forsake me when my strength fails.
[10] For my enemies talk about me. Those who watch for my soul conspire together,
[11] saying, “God has forsaken him. Pursue and take him, for no one will rescue him.”
[12] God, don’t be far from me. My God, hurry to help me.
[13] Let my accusers be disappointed and consumed. Let them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to harm me.
[14] But I will always hope, and will add to all of your praise.
[15] My mouth will tell about your righteousness, and of your salvation all day, though I don’t know its full measure.
[16] I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord Yahweh. I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours alone.
[17] God, you have taught me from my youth. Until now, I have declared your wondrous works.
[18] Yes, even when I am old and gray-haired, God, don’t forsake me, until I have declared your strength to the next generation, your might to everyone who is to come.
[19] God, your righteousness also reaches to the heavens. You have done great things. God, who is like you?
[20] You, who have shown us many and bitter troubles, you will let me live. You will bring us up again from the depths of the earth.
[21] Increase my honor and comfort me again.
[22] I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, my God. I sing praises to you with the lyre, Holy One of Israel.
[23] My lips shall shout for joy! My soul, which you have redeemed, sings praises to you!
[24] My tongue will also talk about your righteousness all day long, for they are disappointed, and they are confounded, who want to harm me.

[1] [70:1] τω δαυιδ υιων ιωναδαβ και των πρωτων αιχμαλωτισθεντων ο θεος επι σοι ηλπισα μη καταισχυνθειην εις τον αιωνα
[2] [70:2] εν τη δικαιοσυνη σου ρυσαι με και εξελου με κλινον προς με το ους σου και σωσον με
[3] [70:3] γενου μοι εις θεον υπερασπιστην και εις τοπον οχυρον του σωσαι με οτι στερεωμα μου και καταφυγη μου ει συ
[4] [70:4] ο θεος μου ρυσαι με εκ χειρος αμαρτωλου εκ χειρος παρανομουντος και αδικουντος
[5] [70:5] οτι συ ει η υπομονη μου κυριε κυριος η ελπις μου εκ νεοτητος μου
[6] [70:6] επι σε επεστηριχθην απο γαστρος εκ κοιλιας μητρος μου συ μου ει σκεπαστης εν σοι η υμνησις μου δια παντος
[7] [70:7] ωσει τερας εγενηθην τοις πολλοις και συ βοηθος κραταιος
[8] [70:8] πληρωθητω το στομα μου αινεσεως οπως υμνησω την δοξαν σου ολην την ημεραν την μεγαλοπρεπειαν σου
[9] [70:9] μη απορριψης με εις καιρον γηρους εν τω εκλειπειν την ισχυν μου μη εγκαταλιπης με
[10] [70:10] οτι ειπαν οι εχθροι μου εμοι και οι φυλασσοντες την ψυχην μου εβουλευσαντο επι το αυτο
[11] [70:11] λεγοντες ο θεος εγκατελιπεν αυτον καταδιωξατε και καταλαβετε αυτον οτι ουκ εστιν ο ρυομενος
[12] [70:12] ο θεος μη μακρυνης απ εμου ο θεος μου εις την βοηθειαν μου προσχες
[13] [70:13] αισχυνθητωσαν και εκλιπετωσαν οι ενδιαβαλλοντες την ψυχην μου περιβαλεσθωσαν αισχυνην και εντροπην οι ζητουντες τα κακα μοι
[14] [70:14] εγω δε δια παντος ελπιω και προσθησω επι πασαν την αινεσιν σου
[15] [70:15] το στομα μου εξαγγελει την δικαιοσυνην σου ολην την ημεραν την σωτηριαν σου οτι ουκ εγνων γραμματειας
[16] [70:16] εισελευσομαι εν δυναστεια κυριου κυριε μνησθησομαι της δικαιοσυνης σου μονου
[17] [70:17] εδιδαξας με ο θεος εκ νεοτητος μου και μεχρι νυν απαγγελω τα θαυμασια σου
[18] [70:18] και εως γηρους και πρεσβειου ο θεος μη εγκαταλιπης με εως αν απαγγειλω τον βραχιονα σου παση τη γενεα τη ερχομενη την δυναστειαν σου και την δικαιοσυνην σου
[19] [70:19] ο θεος εως υψιστων α εποιησας μεγαλεια ο θεος τις ομοιος σοι
[20] [70:20] οσας εδειξας μοι θλιψεις πολλας και κακας και επιστρεψας εζωοποιησας με και εκ των αβυσσων της γης παλιν ανηγαγες με
[21] [70:21] επλεονασας την μεγαλοσυνην σου και επιστρεψας παρεκαλεσας με και εκ των αβυσσων της γης παλιν ανηγαγες με
[22] [70:22] και γαρ εγω εξομολογησομαι σοι εν σκευει ψαλμου την αληθειαν σου ο θεος ψαλω σοι εν κιθαρα ο αγιος του ισραηλ
[23] [70:23] αγαλλιασονται τα χειλη μου οταν ψαλω σοι και η ψυχη μου ην ελυτρωσω
[24] [70:24] ετι δε και η γλωσσα μου ολην την ημεραν μελετησει την δικαιοσυνην σου οταν αισχυνθωσιν και εντραπωσιν οι ζητουντες τα κακα μοι
