Psalm 71

Be my rock of refuge, to which I can always go; give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.
For you have been my hope, O Sovereign LORD, my confidence since my youth. From birth I have relied on you; you brought me forth from my mother's womb. I will ever praise you. My mouth is filled with your praise, declaring your splendor all day long.
But as for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more. My mouth will tell of your righteousness, of your salvation all day long, though I know not its measure. I will come and proclaim your mighty acts, O Sovereign LORD; I will proclaim your righteousness, yours alone. Since my youth, O God, you have taught me, and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds.
Your righteousness reaches to the skies, O God, you who have done great things. Who, O God, is like you?
I will praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praise to you with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel. My lips will shout for joy when I sing praise to you— I, whom you have redeemed. My tongue will tell of your righteous acts all day long.
This is the prayer we pray, and this is the pray we hope Benjamin will pray someday.
Psalm 71: 3, 5-6, 8, 14-17, 19, 22-24
Father, may your praise ever be on our tongues! May our children ever sing of your marvelous acts and of the mighty deeds you have done!
