1HERR, bei dir suche ich Zuflucht; lass mich nicht zugrunde gehen. (Ps 25,2)2Errette mich und befreie mich von meinen Feinden, denn du bist gerecht. Erhöre mein Gebet und hilf mir! (Ps 17,7; Ps 31,2)3Sei mir wie ein schützender Fels, zu dem ich immer fliehen kann, denn du hast zugesagt, mir zu helfen. Du bist mein Fels und meine Burg. (5Mo 33,27; Ps 18,3)4Mein Gott, rette mich aus der Gewalt der Gottlosen, aus der Hand derer, die mich grausam unterdrücken.5Herr, du allein bist meine Hoffnung, dir habe ich vertraut, HERR, von meiner Jugend an. (Ps 22,10; Jer 17,7)6Seit meiner Geburt hast du mich gehalten, von Anfang an hast du für mich gesorgt. Deshalb lobe ich dich allezeit! (Ps 22,10; Ps 34,2; Jes 46,3)7Mein Leben ist ein Vorbild für viele, denn du warst meine Stärke und meine Zuflucht. (Ps 61,4)8Deshalb kann ich nicht aufhören, dich zu loben, den ganzen Tag erzähle ich von deiner Herrlichkeit.9Verwirf mich jetzt nicht, da ich alt bin. Verlass mich nicht, wenn meine Kraft nun schwindet. (Ps 92,15)10Denn meine Feinde verbünden sich gegen mich, und die mich töten wollen, haben sich gegen mich verschworen. (Mt 27,1)11Sie sagen: »Gott hat ihn verlassen. Jetzt haben wir ihn, denn er hat niemanden mehr, der ihm jetzt noch beisteht.« (Ps 3,3; Ps 7,3)12Gott, bleib nicht ferne von mir. Mein Gott, komm mir schnell zu Hilfe. (Ps 22,10)13Die mich beschuldigen, sollen umkommen und untergehen. Hohn und Spott soll die treffen, die mir Böses wollen. (Ps 35,4)14Ich werde nicht aufhören, auf deine Hilfe zu hoffen, und dich immer mehr loben.15Ich will allen Menschen erzählen, wie treu du bist, und den ganzen Tag davon berichten, wie du mir geholfen hast, denn staunend sehe ich, wie viel du für mich getan hast. (Ps 35,28; Ps 40,6)16Allmächtiger HERR, deine großen Taten will ich rühmen. Ich will allen erzählen, dass du allein gerecht und gut bist. (Ps 106,2)17Gott, von frühester Kindheit an warst du mein Lehrer, und ich habe den anderen Menschen stets von deinen herrlichen Taten erzählt.18Nun, da ich alt und grau bin, verlass mich nicht, o Gott. Lass mich von deiner Macht auch der kommenden Generation noch erzählen und von deiner Kraft allen, die nach mir kommen. (Ps 22,32; Ps 78,4)19Deine Gerechtigkeit, Gott, reicht bis zum Himmel. Herrliche Taten hast du vollbracht. Gott, wer ist dir gleich? (5Mo 3,24; Ps 35,10; Ps 57,11; Lk 1,49)20Not und Leid hast du zwar zugelassen, doch du wirst mir das Leben neu schenken und mich auch aus der dunkelsten Tiefe wieder heraufholen. (Ps 23,4; Ps 60,4; Ps 119,25; Hos 6,2)21Du wirst mich zu großen Ehren bringen und mich trösten.22Dann will ich dich auf der Harfe loben, denn du, mein Gott, bist deinen Verheißungen treu. Heiliger Israels, mit der Zither will ich dir aufspielen. (Ps 33,2; Ps 89,19; Ps 147,7)23Ich will jubeln und dir vor Freude singen, denn du hast mich errettet. (Ps 5,12; Ps 103,4)24Den ganzen Tag will ich deine Gerechtigkeit loben, denn alle, die mir schaden wollten, wurden beschämt und gedemütigt. (Ps 35,28; Ps 71,13)
Psalm 71
New International Reader’s Version
von Biblica1LORD, I have gone to you for safety. Let me never be put to shame.2You do what is right, so save me and help me. Pay attention to me and save me.3Be my rock of safety that I can always go to. Give the command to save me. You are my rock and my fort.4My God, save me from the power of sinners. Save me from the hands of those who are mean and evil.5You are the King and the LORD. You have always been my hope. I have trusted in you ever since I was young.6From the time I was born I have depended on you. You brought me out of my mother’s body. I will praise you for ever.7To many people I am an example of how much you care. You are my strong place of safety.8My mouth is filled with praise for you. All day long I will talk about your glory.9Don’t push me away when I’m old. Don’t desert me when my strength is gone.10My enemies speak against me. Those who want to kill me get together and make evil plans.11They say, ‘God has deserted him. Go after him and grab him. No one will save him.’12God, don’t be far away from me. My God, come quickly and help me.13May those who bring charges against me die in shame. May those who want to harm me be covered with shame and dishonour.14But I will always have hope. I will praise you more and more.15I will tell other people about all the good things you have done. All day long I will talk about how you have saved your people. But there’s no way I could say how many times you’ve done this.16LORD and King, I will come and announce your mighty acts. I will announce all the good things that you alone do.17God, ever since I was young you have taught me. To this very day I tell about your wonderful acts.18God, don’t leave me even when I’m old and have grey hair. Let me live to tell my children about your power. Let me tell all of them about your mighty acts.19God, your saving acts reach to the skies. You have done great things. God, who is like you?20You have sent many bitter troubles my way. But you will give me new life. Even if I’m almost in the grave, you will bring me back.21You will honour me more and more. You will comfort me once again.22My God, I will use the harp to praise you because you are always faithful. Holy One of Israel, I will use the lyre to sing praise to you.23My lips will shout with joy when I sing praise to you. You have saved me.24All day long my tongue will say that you have done what is right. Those who wanted to harm me have been put to shame. They have not been honoured.
1In you, O Lord, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame! (Ps 31,1)2In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me; incline your ear to me, and save me!3Be 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. (5Mo 33,27; Ps 18,2; Ps 42,8; Ps 90,1; Ps 91,9)4Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man. (Ps 140,1; Ps 140,4)5For you, O Lord, are my hope, my trust, O Lord, from my youth. (Jer 14,8; Jer 17,13; Jer 50,7; 1Tim 1,1)6Upon you I have leaned from before my birth; you are he who took me from my mother’s womb. My praise is continually of you. (Ps 22,9; Ps 22,10)7I have been as a portent to many, but you are my strong refuge. (Jes 8,18; 1Kor 4,9)8My mouth is filled with your praise, and with your glory all the day. (Ps 71,24)9Do not cast me off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength is spent. (Ps 71,18)10For my enemies speak concerning me; those who watch for my life consult together (Ps 41,7; Ps 56,6; Ps 83,5)11and say, “God has forsaken him; pursue and seize him, for there is none to deliver him.”12O God, be not far from me; O my God, make haste to help me! (Ps 10,1; Ps 40,13; Ps 70,5)13May my accusers be put to shame and consumed; with scorn and disgrace may they be covered who seek my hurt. (Est 9,2; Ps 35,4; Ps 35,26; Ps 70,2; Ps 71,24; Ps 109,29)14But I will hope continually and will praise you yet more and more. (Ps 71,5; Ps 71,22)15My mouth will tell of your righteous acts, of your deeds of salvation all the day, for their number is past my knowledge. (Ps 40,5; Ps 71,8; Ps 71,24)16With the mighty deeds of the Lord God I will come; I will remind them of your righteousness, yours alone.17O God, from my youth you have taught me, and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds.18So 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. (Ps 71,9; Jes 46,4)19Your righteousness, O God, reaches the high heavens. You who have done great things, O God, who is like you? (1Sam 12,24; Ps 35,10; Ps 36,5; Ps 126,2; Lk 1,49)20You 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. (Ps 60,3; Ps 80,18; Ps 85,6; Ps 119,25; Ps 138,7; Ps 143,11; Hos 6,2)21You will increase my greatness and comfort me again.22I 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. (2Kön 19,22; Ps 33,2; Ps 78,41; Ps 89,18; Jes 60,9)23My lips will shout for joy, when I sing praises to you; my soul also, which you have redeemed. (Ps 34,22)24And my tongue will talk of your righteous help all the day long, for they have been put to shame and disappointed who sought to do me hurt. (Ps 35,28; Ps 71,8; Ps 71,13; Ps 71,15)
