Psalm 71:5-7
New Catholic Bible
5 You, O Lord, are my hope,
my confidence, O God, from my youth.
6 I have relied upon you since birth,
and you have been my strength from my mother’s womb;
my praise rises unceasingly to you.[a]
7 I have become a portent to many,[b]
but you are my sure refuge.
Footnotes
- Psalm 71:6 My praise . . . to you: an alternative translation is: “my hope has always been in you.”
- Psalm 71:7 I have become a portent to many: more by his trials (see Ps 31:12; Deut 28:46; Isa 52:14) than by the benefits received from God, for people are surprised to see a righteous person suffering.
