第七十一章
9 我年老的時候，求你不要丟棄我；我力氣衰弱的時候，求你不
要離棄我。
10 我的仇敵議論我，那些窺探要害我命的彼此商議，
11 說：“神已經離棄他，我們追趕他，捉拿他吧！因為沒有人搭救。”
12 神啊，求你不要遠離我！我的神啊，求你速速幫助我！
13 願那與我性命為敵的，羞愧被滅；願那謀害我的，受辱蒙羞。
14 我卻要常常盼望，並要越發讚美你。
15 我的口終日要述說你的公義和你的救恩，因我不計其數。
16 我要來說主耶和華大能的事，我單要提說你的公義。
17 神啊，自我年幼時，你就教訓我；直到如今，我傳揚你奇妙的作為。
18 神啊，我到年老髮白的時候，求你不要離棄我！等我將你的能
力指示下代，將你的大能指示後世的人。

Chapter 71
9 Do not cast me away when I am old;
do not forsake me when my strength is gone.
10 For my enemies speak against me;
those who wait to kill me conspire together.
11 They say, “God has forsaken him;
pursue him and seize him, for no one will rescue him.”
12 Do not be far from me, my God;
come quickly, God, to help me.
13 May my accusers perish in shame;
may those who want to harm me be covered with scorn and disgrace.
14 As for me, I will always have hope;
I will praise you more and more.
15 My mouth will tell of your righteous deeds,of your saving acts all day
long— though I know not how to relate them all.
16 I will come and proclaim your mighty acts, Sovereign LORD;
I will proclaim your righteous deeds, yours alone.
17 Since my youth, God, you have taught me,
and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds.
18 Even when I am old and gray,
do not forsake me, my God,
till I declare your power to the next generation,
your mighty acts to all who are to come.
