71:1  In You, Lord, I have taken refuge; Let me never be put to shame.
71:2  In Your righteousness rescue me and save me; Extend Your ear to me and help me.
71:3  Be to me a rock of dwelling to which I may continually come; You have given the commandment to save me, For You are my rock and my fortress.
71:4  Save me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, From the grasp of the wrongdoer and the ruthless,
71:5  For You are my hope; Lord God, You are my confidence from my youth.
71:6  I have leaned on you since 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 glory all day long.
71:9  Do not cast me away at the time of my old age; Do not abandon me when my strength fails.
71:10  For my enemies have spoken against me; And those who watch for my life have consulted together,
71:11  Saying, “God has abandoned him; Pursue and seize him, for there is no one to save him.”
71:12  God, do not be far from me; My God, hurry to my aid!
71:13  May those who are enemies of my soul be put to shame and consumed; May they be covered with disgrace and dishonor, who seek to injure me.
71:14  But as for me, I will wait continually, And will praise You yet more and more.
71:15  My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness And of Your salvation all day long; For I do not know the art of writing.
71:16  I will come with the mighty deeds of the Lord God; I will make mention of Your righteousness, Yours alone.
71:17  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, God, do not abandon me, Until I declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to all who are to come.
71:19  For Your righteousness, God, reaches to the heavens, You who have done great things; God, who is like You?
71:20  You who have shown me many troubles and distresses 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, And Your truth, my God; I will sing praises to You with the lyre, Holy One of Israel.
71:23  My lips will shout for joy when I sing praises to You; And my soul, which You have redeemed.
71:24  My tongue also will tell of Your righteousness all day long; For they are put to shame, for they are humiliated who seek my harm.
