Psalm 71:13-15
New Catholic Bible
13 Let those who accuse me
be put to shame and perish;
let those who are determined to harm me
incur contempt and disgrace.[a]
14 But I will hope in you continually
and will render even more praise to you.
15 [b]My lips will proclaim your righteous deeds
and your salvation all day long,
though I do not know their extent.[c]
Footnotes
- Psalm 71:13 A prayer for the divine justice to be done (see notes on Pss 5:11; 35).
- Psalm 71:15 A vow to offer praise to God for his help (see note on Ps 7:18).
- Psalm 71:15 The psalmist does not know the full extent of God’s goodness toward him. For God’s acts of salvation, consisting of his mighty deeds (v. 16) and marvelous works (v. 17), are too numerous to count (see Pss 40:6; 139:17f).
