71:1  In you, Lord, is my protection. Never let me be ashamed.
71:2  Because you do what is right, save and rescue me. Listen to me and save me.
71:3  Be my place of safety where I can always come. Give the command to save me. You are my rock and my strong, walled city.
71:4  My God, save me from the power of the wicked. Save me from the hold of evil and cruel people.
71:5  Lord God, you are my hope. I have trusted you since I was young.
71:6  I have depended on you since I was born. You have been my help from the day I was born. I will always praise you.
71:7  I am an example to many people. You are my strong protection.
71:8  I am always praising you. All day long I honor you.
71:9  Do not reject me when I am old. Do not leave me when my strength is gone.
71:10  My enemies have made plans against me. They meet together to kill me.
71:11  They say, “God has left him. Go after him and take him. No one will save him.”
71:12  God, don’t be far off. My God, hurry to help me.
71:13  Let them be ashamed. Destroy those who accuse me. They are trying to hurt me. Cover them with shame and disgrace.
71:14  But I will always have hope. And I will praise you more and more.
71:15  I will tell about how you do what is right. I will tell about your salvation all day long, even though it is more than I can tell.
71:16  I will come and tell about your powerful works, Lord God. I will tell only about you and how you do what is right.
71:17  God, you have taught me since I was young. Even until today I tell about the miracles you do.
71:18  Even though I am old and gray, do not leave me, God. I will tell the children about your power. I will tell those who will live after me about your might.
71:19  God, your justice reaches to the skies. You have done great things. God, there is no one like you.
71:20  You have given me many troubles and bad times. But you will give me life again. When I am almost dead, you will keep me alive.
71:21  You will make me greater than ever. And you will comfort me again.
71:22  I will praise you with the harp. I trust you, my God. I will sing to you with the lyre. You are the Holy One of Israel.
71:23  I will shout for joy when I sing praises to you. You have saved me.
71:24  I will tell about your justice all day long. And those who want to hurt me will be ashamed and disgraced.
