T4T PSA Chapter 71

◄ PSA 71 ► ║ ═ ©

71 Yahweh, I have come to you to ◄get refuge/be protected►;

never allow me to become ashamed because of being defeated.

2 Because you always do what is right, help me and rescue me;

listen to me, and save me!

3 Be like an overhanging rock [MET] under which I can be safe/protected;

be like a strong fortress in which I am safe [DOU].

You continually command (OR, Continually command) your angels to rescue me.

4 God, rescue me from wicked people,

from the power of unjust and evil men.

5 Yahweh, my Lord, you are the one whom I confidently expect to help me;

I have trusted in you since I was young.

6 I have depended on you all my life;

you have taken care of me [IDM] since the day that I was born,

so I will always praise you.

7 The manner in which I have conducted my life has been an example to many people,

because they realize that you have been my strong defender.

8 I praise you all day long,

and I proclaim that you are glorious/wonderful.

9 Now, when I have become an old man, do not reject/abandon me;

do not abandon me now, when I am not strong any more.

10 My enemies say that they want to kill me;

they plan together how they can do that.

11 They say about me, “God has abandoned him;

so now we can pursue him and seize him,

because there is no one who will rescue him.”

12 God, do not stay far away from me;

hurry to help me!

13 Cause those who ◄accuse me/say that I have done things that are wrong► to be defeated and destroyed;

cause those who want to harm me to be shamed and disgraced.

14 But as for me, I will continually and confidently expect you to do great things for me,

and I will praise you more and more.

15 I will tell people that you do what is right;

all day long I will tell people how you have saved me,

although what you have done is more than I can fully understand.

16 Yahweh, my Lord, I will praise you for your mighty deeds;

I will proclaim that only you always act justly.

17 God, you have taught me many/those things ever since I was young,

and I still tell people about your wonderful deeds.

18 And now, God, when I am old and my hair is gray,

do not abandon me.

Stay with me while I continue to proclaim to my children and grandchildren [HYP] that you are very powerful!

19 God, you do many righteous deeds;

it is as though they extend up to the sky.

You have done great things;

there is no one like you [RHQ].

20 You have caused me to have many troubles and to suffer much,

but you will cause me to become strong again;

when I am almost dead [HYP], you will keep me alive.

21 You will cause me to be greatly honored

and you will encourage/comfort me again.

22 I will also praise you while I play my harp;

I will praise you, my God, for faithfully doing what you have promised to do.

I will play hymns to praise you, the holy God whom we Israelis worship.

23 I [SYN] will shout joyfully while I play the harp for you;

with my entire inner being I will sing

because you have rescued me.

24 All day long I will tell people that you act righteously,

because those who wanted to harm me will have been defeated and disgraced.
