71:1  In You, O Yahweh, I have taken refuge; Let me never be ashamed.
71:2  In Your righteousness deliver me and protect me; Incline Your ear to me and save me.
71:3  Be to me a rock of habitation to which I may continually come; You have given the command to save me, For You are my rock and my fortress.
71:4  Protect me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, Out of the grasp of the unrighteous and ruthless man,
71:5  For You are my hope; O Lord Yahweh, You are my trust from my youth.
71:6  By You I have been sustained from my birth; You are He who took me from my mother’s womb; My praise is continually of You.
71:7  I have become a marvel to many, For You are my strong refuge.
71:8  My mouth is filled with Your praise And with Your beauty all day long.
71:9  Do not cast me off in the time of old age; Do not forsake me when my strength fails.
71:10  For my enemies have spoken against me; And those who watch my life have counseled together,
71:11  Saying, “God has forsaken him; Pursue and seize him, for there is no one to deliver.”
71:12  O God, do not be far from me; O my God, hasten to my help!
71:13  Let those who accuse my soul be ashamed and consumed; Let them be wrapped up with reproach and dishonor, who seek to do me evil.
71:14  But as for me, I will wait continually, And will praise You yet more and more.
71:15  My mouth shall recount Your righteousness And Your salvation all day long; For I do not know the sum of them.
71:16  I will come with the mighty deeds of Lord Yahweh; I will bring to remembrance Your righteousness, Yours alone.
71:17  O God, You have taught me from my youth, And I still declare Your wondrous deeds.
71:18  And even when I am old and gray, O God, do not forsake me, Until I declare Your strength to this generation, Your might to all who are to come.
71:19  For Your righteousness, O God, reaches to the heavens, You who have done great things; O God, who is like You?
71:20  You, who have shown me many troubles and evils, Will revive me again, And will bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
71:21  May You increase my greatness And turn to comfort me.
71:22  I will also praise You with a harp, Even Your truth, O my God; To You I will sing praises with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel.
71:23  My lips will sing for joy when I sing praises to You; And my soul, which You have redeemed.
71:24  My tongue also will utter Your righteousness all day long; For they are ashamed, for they are humiliated who seek to do me evil.
