- 0:03Speaker 1: Psalm 71 In you, Yahweh, I take refuge. Never let
- 0:09Speaker 1: me be put to shame. Deliver me in your righteousness
- 0:12Speaker 1: and rescue me. Turn your ear to me and save me.
- 0:15Speaker 1: Be to me a rock of refuge to which I
- 0:17Speaker 1: may always go. Give the command to save me, for
- 0:21Speaker 1: you are my rock and my fortress. Rescue me, my God,
- 0:25Speaker 1: from the hand of the wicked, from the hand of
- 0:27Speaker 1: the unrighteous and cruel man. For you are my hope,
- 0:30Speaker 1: Lord Yahweh, my confidence from my youth. I have relied
- 0:34Speaker 1: on you from the womb. You are he who took
- 0:37Speaker 1: me out of my mother's womb. I will always praise you.
- 0:40Speaker 1: I am a marvel to many, but you are my
- 0:43Speaker 1: strong refuge. My mouth shall be filled with your praise,
- 0:46Speaker 1: with your honor all the day. Don't reject me in
- 0:50Speaker 1: my old age. Don't forsake me when my strength fails.
- 0:53Speaker 1: For my enemies talk about me. Those who watch for
- 0:56Speaker 1: my soul conspire together, saying, God has forsaken him. Pursue
- 1:01Speaker 1: and take him, for no one will rescue him. God,
- 1:04Speaker 1: don't be far from me. My God, hurry to help me.
- 1:07Speaker 1: Let my accusers be put to shame and consumed. Let
- 1:11Speaker 1: them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to
- 1:13Speaker 1: harm me. But I will always hope and will add
- 1:17Speaker 1: to all of your praise. My mouth will tell about
- 1:20Speaker 1: your righteousness and of your salvation all day, though I
- 1:24Speaker 1: don't know its full measure. I will come with the
- 1:27Speaker 1: mighty acts of the Lord Yahweh. I will make mention
- 1:30Speaker 1: of your righteousness, even of yours alone. God, you have
- 1:33Speaker 1: taught me from my youth, until now I have declared
- 1:36Speaker 1: your wondrous works. Yes, even when I am old and gray-haired, God,
- 1:40Speaker 1: don't forsake me, until I have declared your strength to
- 1:44Speaker 1: the next generation, your might to everyone who is to come.
- 1:48Speaker 1: Your righteousness also, God, reaches to the heavens. You have
- 1:52Speaker 1: done great things, God. Who is like you? you who
- 1:56Speaker 1: have shown us many and bitter troubles you will let
- 1:58Speaker 1: me live you will bring us up again from the
- 2:01Speaker 1: depths of the earth increase my honor and comfort me
- 2:04Speaker 1: again i will also praise you with the harp for
- 2:07Speaker 1: your faithfulness my god i will sing praises to you
- 2:10Speaker 1: with the lyre holy one of israel my lips shall
- 2:13Speaker 1: shout for joy my soul which you have redeemed sings
- 2:17Speaker 1: praises to you my tongue will also talk about your
- 2:20Speaker 1: righteousness all day long for they are put to shame
- 2:23Speaker 1: and they are confounded who want to harm me
