71:1  In You, O Lord, I seek refuge; may I never be put to shame.
71:2  Deliver me in Your righteousness and help me escape; incline Your ear to me and save me.
71:3  Be my rock of refuge to enter continually; You have given commandment to save me; for You are my rock and my stronghold.
71:4  Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unjust and cruel man.
71:5  For You are my hope, O Lord God; You are my confidence from my youth.
71:6  On You I have supported myself from the womb; You took me out of my mother’s womb. My praise will continually be about You.
71:7  I am like a wondrous sign to many; You are my strong refuge.
71:8  My mouth will 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 watch for my life take counsel together,
71:11  saying, “God has forsaken him; pursue and catch him, for there is none to deliver him.”
71:12  O God, do not be far from me; O my God, act quickly to help me.
71:13  May the adversaries of my life be ashamed and confused; may those who seek my harm be enveloped in scorn and dishonor.
71:14  But I will hope continually, and will add to all Your praise.
71:15  My mouth will declare Your righteousness and Your salvation all the day, for I cannot know their numbers.
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 until now I have proclaimed Your wondrous works.
71:18  Now also when I am old and gray, O God, do not forsake me, until I have proclaimed Your strength to this generation, and Your power to everyone who is to come.
71:19  Your righteousness, O God, reaches to the heights; You have done great deeds; O God, who is like You?
71:20  You who have shown me great distresses and troubles will revive me again, and will bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
71:21  You will increase my greatness, and You will encircle and comfort me.
71:22  I will give You thanks with the harp, even Your truth, O my God; to You I will sing with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel.
71:23  My lips will rejoice when I sing to You, and my soul, which You have redeemed.
71:24  My tongue also will speak of Your righteousness all the day long; for those who seek my harm are ashamed, for they have been put to shame.
