71:1  In You, O Lord, I put my trust; Let me never be put to shame.
71:2  Deliver me in Your righteousness, and cause me to escape; Incline Your ear to me, and save me.
71:3  Be my strong refuge, To which I may resort continually; You have given the 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 I have been upheld from birth; You are He who took me out of my mother’s womb. My praise shall be continually of You.
71:7  I have become as a wonder to many, But You are my strong refuge.
71:8  Let my mouth be filled with Your praise And with Your glory all the day.
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 speak against me; And those who lie in wait for my life take counsel together,
71:11  Saying, “God has forsaken him; Pursue and take him, for there is none to deliver him.”
71:12  O God, do not be far from me; O my God, make haste to help me!
71:13  Let them be confounded and consumed Who are adversaries of my life; Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor Who seek my hurt.
71:14  But I will hope continually, And will praise You yet more and more.
71:15  My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness And Your salvation all the day, For I do not know their limits.
71:16  I will go in the strength of the Lord God; I will make mention of Your righteousness, of Yours only.
71:17  O God, You have taught me from my youth; And to this day I declare Your wondrous works.
71:18  Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, do not forsake me, Until I declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to everyone who is to come.
71:19  Also Your righteousness, O God, is very high, You who have done great things; O God, who is like You?
71:20  You, who have shown me great and severe troubles, Shall revive me again, And 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  Also with the lute I will praise You— And Your faithfulness, O my God! To You I will sing with the harp, O Holy One of Israel.
71:23  My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing to 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 to shame Who seek my hurt.
