71:1  Lord, you are my refuge! Don’t let me down!
71:2  Save me from my enemies, for you are just! Rescue me! Bend down your ear and listen to my plea and save me.
71:3  Be to me a great protecting Rock, where I am always welcome, safe from all attacks. For you have issued the order to save me.
71:4  Rescue me, O God, from these unjust and cruel men.
71:5  O Lord, you alone are my hope; I’ve trusted you from childhood.
71:6  Yes, you have been with me from birth and have helped me constantly—no wonder I am always praising you!
71:7  My success—at which so many stand amazed—is because you are my mighty protector.
71:8  All day long I’ll praise and honor you, O God, for all that you have done for me.
71:9  And now, in my old age, don’t set me aside. Don’t forsake me now when my strength is failing.
71:10  My enemies are whispering,
71:11  “God has forsaken him! Now we can get him. There is no one to help him now!”
71:12  O God, don’t stay away! Come quickly! Help!
71:13  Destroy them! Cover them with failure and disgrace—these enemies of mine.
71:14  I will keep on expecting you to help me. I praise you more and more.
71:15  I cannot count the times when you have faithfully rescued me from danger. I will tell everyone how good you are, and of your constant, daily care.
71:16  I walk in the strength of the Lord God. I tell everyone that you alone are just and good.
71:17  O God, you have helped me from my earliest childhood—and I have constantly testified to others of the wonderful things you do.
71:18  And now that I am old and gray, don’t forsake me. Give me time to tell this new generation (and their children too) about all your mighty miracles.
71:19  Your power and goodness, Lord, reach to the highest heavens. You have done such wonderful things. Where is there another God like you?
71:20  You have let me sink down deep in desperate problems. But you will bring me back to life again, up from the depths of the earth.
71:21  You will give me greater honor than before and turn again and comfort me.
71:22  I will praise you with music, telling of your faithfulness to all your promises, O Holy One of Israel.
71:23  I will shout and sing your praises for redeeming me.
71:24  I will talk to others all day long about your justice and your goodness. For all who tried to hurt me have been disgraced and dishonored.
