71:1  In you, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.
71:2  Deliver me in your righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline your ear unto me, and save me.
71:3  Be my strong habitation, to which I may continually resort: you have given commandment to save me; for you are my rock and my fortress.
71:4  Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
71:5  For you are my hope, O Lord GOD: you are my trust from my youth.
71:6  By you have I been upheld from birth: you are he that took me out of my mother's womb: my praise shall be continually of you.
71:7  I am as a wonder unto many; but you are my strong refuge.
71:8  Let my mouth be filled with your praise and with your honor all the day.
71:9  Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength fails.
71:10  For my enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,
71:11  Saying, God has forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him.
71:12  O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.
71:13  Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonor that seek my hurt.
71:14  But I will hope continually, and will yet praise you more and more.
71:15  My mouth shall show forth your righteousness and your salvation all the day; for I know not the limits thereof.
71:16  I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours only.
71:17  O God, you have taught me from my youth: and to this day have I declared your wondrous works.
71:18  Now also when I am old and gray headed, O God, forsake me not; until I have showed your strength unto this generation, and your power to every one that is to come.
71:19  Your righteousness also, O God, is very high, who has done great things: O God, who is like unto you!
71:20  You, who have showed me great and severe troubles, shall revive me again, and shall bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
71:21  You shall increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
71:22  I will also praise you with the psaltery, even your truth, O my God: unto you will I sing with the harp, O you Holy One of Israel.
71:23  My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto you; and my soul, which you have redeemed.
71:24  My tongue also shall talk of your righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.
