71:1  In Thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; let me never be put to confusion.
71:2  Deliver me in Thy righteousness, and cause me to escape; incline Thine ear unto me, and save me.
71:3  Be Thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort; Thou hast given commandment to save me, for Thou art 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 Thou art my hope, O Lord God; Thou art my trust from my youth.
71:6  By Thee have I been held from the womb; Thou art He that took me out of my mother’s womb. My praise shall be continually of Thee.
71:7  I am as a wonder unto many, but Thou art my strong refuge.
71:8  Let my mouth be filled with Thy praise, and with Thy honor all the day.
71:9  Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.
71:10  For mine enemies speak against me, and they that lie in wait for my soul take counsel together,
71:11  saying, “God hath 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 to help me.
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 Thee more and more.
71:15  My mouth shall show forth Thy righteousness and Thy salvation all the day, for I know not the numbers thereof.
71:16  I will go in the strength of the Lord God; I will make mention of Thy righteousness, even of Thine only.
71:17  O God, Thou hast taught me from my youth, and hitherto have I declared Thy wondrous works.
71:18  Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not, until I have shown Thy strength unto this generation and Thy power to every one that is to come.
71:19  Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things. O God, who is like unto Thee!
71:20  Thou, who hast shown me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
71:21  Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
71:22  I will also praise Thee with the psaltery for Thy truth, O my God; unto Thee will I sing with the harp, O Thou Holy One of Israel.
71:23  My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto Thee, and my soul which Thou hast redeemed.
71:24  My tongue also shall talk of Thy righteousness all the day long; for they are confounded, for they are brought to shame that seek my hurt.
