71:1  I run to you, Lord, for protection. Don't disappoint me.
71:2  You do what is right, so come to my rescue. Listen to my prayer and keep me safe.
71:3  Be my mighty rock, the place where I can always run for protection. Save me by your command! You are my mighty rock and my fortress.
71:4  Come and save me, Lord God, from vicious and cruel and brutal enemies!
71:5  I depend on you, and I have trusted you since I was young.
71:6  I have relied on you from the day I was born. You brought me safely through birth, and I always praise you.
71:7  Many people think of me as something evil. But you are my mighty protector,
71:8  and I praise and honor you all day long.
71:9  Don't throw me aside when I am old; don't desert me when my strength is gone.
71:10  My enemies are plotting because they want me dead.
71:11  They say, “Now we'll catch you! God has deserted you, and no one can save you.”
71:12  Come closer, God! Please hurry and help.
71:13  Embarrass and destroy all who want me dead; disgrace and confuse all who want to hurt me.
71:14  I will never give up hope or stop praising you.
71:15  All day long I will tell the wonderful things you do to save your people. But you have done much more than I could possibly know.
71:16  I will praise you, Lord God, for your mighty deeds and your power to save.
71:17  You have taught me since I was a child, and I never stop telling about your marvelous deeds.
71:18  Don't leave me when I am old and my hair turns gray. Let me tell future generations about your mighty power.
71:19  Your deeds of kindness are known in the heavens. No one is like you!
71:20  You made me suffer a lot, but you will bring me back from this deep pit and give me new life.
71:21  You will make me truly great and take my sorrow away.
71:22  I will praise you, God, the Holy One of Israel. You are faithful. I will play the harp and sing your praises.
71:23  You have rescued me! I will celebrate and shout, singing praises to you with all my heart.
71:24  All day long I will announce your power to save. I will tell how you disgraced and disappointed those who wanted to hurt me.
