Psalm 70, 71, 77, 83, and 86

Psalm 71

Amplified Bible (AMP)

Psalm 71

¹ In You, O Lord, do I put my trust and confidently take refuge; let me never be put to shame or confusion!

² Deliver me in Your righteousness and cause me to escape; bow down Your ear to me and save me!

³ Be to me a rock of refuge in which to dwell, and a sheltering stronghold to which I may continually resort, which You have appointed to save me, for You are my Rock and my Fortress.

⁴ Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the grasp of the unrighteous and ruthless man.

⁵ For You are my hope; O Lord God, You are my trust from my youth and the source of my confidence.

⁶ Upon You have I leaned and relied from birth; You are He Who took me from my mother’s womb andYou have been my benefactor from that day. My praise is continually of You.

⁷ I am as a wonder and surprise to many, but You are my strong refuge.

⁸ My mouth shall be filled with Your praise and with Your honor all the day.

⁹ Cast me not off nor send me away in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength is spentand my powers fail.

¹⁰ For my enemies talk against me; those who watch for my life consult together,

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

¹² O God, be not far from me! O my God, make haste to help me!

¹³ Let them be put to shame and consumed who are adversaries to my life; let them be covered with reproach, scorn, and dishonor who seek and require my hurt.

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

¹⁵ My mouth shall tell of Your righteous acts and of Your deeds of salvation all the day, for their number is more than I know.

¹⁶ I will come in the strength and with the mighty acts of the Lord God; I will mention and praise Your righteousness, even Yours alone.

¹⁷ O God, You have taught me from my youth, and hitherto have I declared Your wondrous works.

¹⁸ Yes, even when I am old and gray-headed, O God, forsake me not, [but keep me alive] until I have declared Your mighty strength to [this] generation, and Your might and power to all that are to come.

¹⁹ Your righteousness also, O God, is very high [reaching to the heavens], You Who have done great things; O God, who is like You, or who is Your equal?

²⁰ You Who have shown us [all] troubles great and sore will quicken us again and will bring us up again from the depths of the earth.

²¹ Increase my greatness (my honor) and turn and comfort me.

²² I will also praise You with the harp, even Your truth and faithfulness, O my God; unto You will I sing praises with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel.

²³ My lips shall shout for joy when I sing praises to You, and my inner being, which You have redeemed.

²⁴ My tongue also shall talk of Your righteousness all the day long; for they are put to shame, for they are confounded, who seek and demand my hurt.

^{God is the source of my confidence!!! Again:}

⁵ For You are my hope; O Lord God, You are my trust from my youth and the source of my confidence.

"Dear God You alone are my confidence! I am nothing without you! I can do nothing without You! I can do ALL things through You! Thank You for strengthening me in times of distress! Thank You for being my Refuge, the Strong Tower I run to! When waves of fear and doubt overtake me, I run to You. I am strong and confident in You alone. I am weak and helpless on my own. You are Worthy of my highest praise! I love and honor You, O God. I worship Your holy name, Jesus! AMEN."
