We Remember

In You, O Lord, do I take refuge;
let me never be put to shame!
In Your righteousness deliver me and rescue me;
incline Your ear to me, and save me!
Be to me a rock of refuge,
to which I may continually come;
You have given the command to save me,
for You are my rock and my fortress.
Rescue me, O my God, from the
hand of the wicked,
from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man.
For You, O Lord, are my hope,
my trust, O Lord, from my youth.
Upon You I have leaned from before my birth;
You are He who took me from my mother's womb.
My praise is continually to You.
I have been as a portent to many,
but You are my strong refuge.
My mouth is filled with Your praise,
and with Your glory all the day.
Do not cast me off in the time of old age;
forsake me not when my strength is spent.
For my enemies speak concerning me;
those who watch for my life
consult together and say,
"God has forsaken him; pursue and seize him,
for there is none to deliver him."
O God, be not far from me;
O my God, make haste to help me!
May my accusers be put to shame
and consumed;
with scorn and disgrace may
they be covered who seek my hurt.
But I will hope continually
and will praise You yet more and more.
My mouth will tell of Your righteous acts,
of Your deeds of salvation all the day,
for their number is past my knowledge.
With the mighty deeds of the
Lord God I come;
I will remind them of Your
righteousness, Yours alone.
O God, from my youth You have taught me,
and I still proclaim Your wondrous deeds.
So even to old age and gray hairs,
O God, do not forsake me,
until I proclaim Your might to
another generation,
Your power to all those to come.
Your righteouss, O God,
reaches the high heavens.
You who have done great things, O God,
who is like You?
You who have made me see many
troubles and calamities
will revive me again;
from the depths of the earth
You will bring me up again.
You will increase my greatness and
comfort me again.
I will also praise You with the harp
for your faithfulness, O my God;
I will sing praises to you with the lyre,
O Holy One of Israel.
My lips will shout for joy,
when I sing praises to You;
my soul also, which you have redeemed.
And my tongue will alk of Your
righteous help all the day long,
for they have been put to shame
and disappointed who sought to do me hurt.
Psalm 71
