71:1 In you, Yahweh, I take refuge. Never let me be disappointed.

71:2 Deliver me in your righteousness, and rescue me. Turn your ear to me, and save me.

71:3 Be to me a rock of refuge to which I may always go. Give the command to save me, For you are my rock and my fortress.

71:4 Rescue me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, From the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.

71:5 For you are my hope, Lord Yahweh; My confidence from my youth.

71:6 I have relied on you from the womb. You are he who took me out of my mother's womb. I will always praise you.

71:7 I am a marvel to many, But you are my strong refuge.

71:8 My mouth shall be filled with your praise, With your honor all the day.

71:9 Don't reject me in my old age. Don't forsake me when my strength fails.

71:10 For my enemies talk about me. Those who watch for my soul conspire together,

71:11 Saying, "God has forsaken him. Pursue and take him, for no one will rescue him."

71:12 God, don't be far from me. My God, hurry to help me.

71:13 Let my accusers be disappointed and consumed. Let them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to harm me.

71:14 But I will always hope, And will add to all of your praise.

71:15 My mouth will tell about your righteousness, And of your salvation all day, Though I don't know its full measure.

71:16 I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord Yahweh. I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours alone.

71:17 God, you have taught me from my youth. Until now, I have declared your wondrous works.

71:18 Yes, even when I am old and gray-haired, God, don't forsake me, Until I have declared your strength to the next generation, Your might to everyone who is to come.

71:19 Your righteousness also, God, reaches to the heavens; You have done great things. God, who is like you?

71:20 You, who have shown us many and bitter troubles, You will let me live. You will bring us up again from the depths of the earth.

71:21 Increase my honor, And comfort me again.

71:22 I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, my God. I sing praises to you with the lyre, Holy One of Israel.

71:23 My lips shall shout for joy! My soul, which you have redeemed, sings praises to you!

71:24 My tongue will also talk about your righteousness all day long, For they are disappointed, and they are confounded, who want to harm me.
