Texts -- Psalms 71:11-24 (NET)

Context
71:11 They say , “God has abandoned him. Run and seize him, for there is no one who will rescue him!” 71:12 O God , do not remain far away from me! My God , hurry and help me! 71:13 May my accusers be humiliated and defeated ! May those who want to harm me be covered with scorn and disgrace ! 71:14 As for me, I will wait continually , and will continue to praise you. 71:15 I will tell about your justice , and all day long proclaim your salvation , though I cannot fathom its full extent . 71:16 I will come and tell about the mighty acts of the sovereign Lord . I will proclaim your justice – yours alone . 71:17 O God , you have taught me since I was young , and I am still declaring your amazing deeds . 71:18 Even when I am old and gray , O God , do not abandon me, until I tell the next generation about your strength , and those coming after me about your power . 71:19 Your justice , O God , extends to the skies above ; you have done great things. O God , who can compare to you? 71:20 Though you have allowed me to experience much trouble and distress , revive me once again ! Bring me up once again from the depths of the earth ! 71:21 Raise me to a position of great honor! Turn and comfort me! 71:22 I will express my thanks to you with a stringed instrument , praising your faithfulness , O my God ! I will sing praises to you accompanied by a harp , O Holy One of Israel ! 71:23 My lips will shout for joy ! Yes , I will sing your praises ! I will praise you when you rescue me! 71:24 All day long my tongue will also tell about your justice , for those who want to harm me will be embarrassed and ashamed .
