arch...@jab.org The Psalms, starting at chapter 70
Psalm 70 For the Chief Musician. By David. A reminder. {70:1} Hurry, God, to deliver me. Come quickly to help me, LORD. {70:2} Let them be disappointed and confounded who seek my soul. Let those who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace. {70:3} Let them be turned because of their shame Who say, "Aha! Aha!" {70:4} Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let those who love your salvation continually say, "Let God be exalted!" {70:5} But I am poor and needy. Come to me quickly, God. You are my help and my deliverer. LORD, don't delay. Psalm 71 {71:1} In you, LORD, I take refuge. Never let me be disappointed. {71:2} Deliver me in your righteousness, and rescue me. Turn your ear to me, and save me. {71:3} 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. {71:4} Rescue me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. {71:5} For you are my hope, Lord GOD; my confidence from my youth. {71:6} 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. {71:7} I am a marvel to many, but you are my strong refuge. {71:8} My mouth shall be filled with your praise, with your honor all the day. {71:9} Don't reject me in my old age. Don't forsake me when my strength fails. {71:10} For my enemies talk about me. Those who watch for my soul conspire together, {71:11} saying, "God has forsaken him. Pursue and take him, for no one will rescue him." {71:12} God, don't be far from me. My God, hurry to help me. {71:13} Let my accusers be disappointed and consumed. Let them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to harm me. {71:14} But I will always hope, and will add to all of your praise. {71:15} My mouth will tell about your righteousness, and of your salvation all day, though I don't know its full measure. {71:16} I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord GOD. I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours alone. {71:17} God, you have taught me from my youth. Until now, I have declared your wondrous works. {71:18} 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. {71:19} Your righteousness also, God, reaches to the heavens; you have done great things. God, who is like you? {71:20} 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. {71:21} Increase my honor, and comfort me again. {71:22} 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. {71:23} My lips shall shout for joy! My soul, which you have redeemed, sings praises to you! {71:24} My tongue will also talk about your righteousness all day long, for they are disappointed, and they are confounded, who want to harm me. Psalm 72 By Solomon. {72:1} God, give the king your justice; your righteousness to the royal son. {72:2} He will judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with justice. {72:3} The mountains shall bring prosperity to the people. The hills bring the fruit of righteousness. {72:4} He will judge the poor of the people. He will save the children of the needy, and will break the oppressor in pieces. {72:5} They shall fear you while the sun endures; and as long as the moon, throughout all generations. {72:6} He will come down like rain on the mown grass, as showers that water the earth. {72:7} In his days, the righteous shall flourish, and abundance of peace, until the moon is no more. {72:8} He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, from the River to the ends of the earth. {72:9} Those who dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him. His enemies shall lick the dust. {72:10} The kings of Tarshish and of the islands will bring tribute. The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. {72:11} Yes, all kings shall fall down before him. All nations shall serve him. {72:12} For he will deliver the needy when he cries; the poor, who has no helper. {72:13} He will have pity on the poor and needy. He will save the souls of the needy. {72:14} He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence. Their blood will be precious in his sight. {72:15} They shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba. Men shall pray for him continually. They shall bless him all day long. {72:16} Abundance of grain shall be throughout the land. Its fruit sways like Lebanon. Let it flourish, thriving like the grass of the field. {72:17} His name endures forever. His name continues as long as the sun. Men shall be blessed by him. All nations will call him blessed. {72:18} Praise be to the LORD God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds. {72:19} Blessed be his glorious name forever! Let the whole earth be filled with his glory! Amen and amen. {72:20} This ends the prayers by David, the son of Jesse.
