71:1 In you, Lord Jehovah, I have hope; I shall never be ashamed.
71:2 Save me by your righteousness; incline your ear to me and save me.
71:3 Be my dwelling place that I may enter it always, and command to save me, because you are the house of my refuge and my fortress.
71:4 God, save me from the hand of the wicked and from the evil hand of The Evil One.
71:5 Because you are my hope, Lord Jehovah, oh, God, my trust from my youth.
71:6 For I have been sustained upon you from the womb and from the bowels of my mother you are my trust; I am praising you at all times.
71:7 I have been a wonder to many, for you are my strong confidence.
71:8 Let my mouth be filled with your song, and with your greatness all day.
71:9 Do not cast me off at the time of old age; when my power fails, do not leave me
71:10 Because my enemies speak against me and those who watched my soul counselled against me together.
71:11 And they said, “God has forsaken him; pursue him and take him because he has no Savior.”
71:12 Oh God, do not be far from me! Oh God, stay for my help!
71:13 Those who shut up my soul shall be ashamed and shall be put to shame. Let those who seek my affliction be clothed in shame.
71:14 But I shall pray always and I shall magnify concerning your glory.
71:15 My mouth will proclaim your righteousness, and your praise all the day, because I have not known book writing.
71:16 I shall enter into the manliness of Lord Jehovah, and I shall mention your righteousness, I alone!
71:17 God is my teacher from my youth, and when shall I show your wonders?
71:18 Leave me not to old age and seniority until I show your arm and your power to the coming generation!
71:19 And your righteousness, oh God, is unto The Highest Place, and the great things that you have done! Who is like you?
71:20 For you have shown me great trouble and evil and you have returned and you have saved me, and even from the depths of the Earth you will return; you will raise me up!
71:21 You have increased my greatness and you have returned and you have comforted me.
71:22 I also shall praise you with the harp and I shall sing your truth; oh God, I shall sing praise to you with the harp, Holy One of Israel!
71:23 And my lips will glory when I shall sing praise to you, and my soul which you have saved.
71:24 And my tongue will confess your righteousness all day, because those who seek my affliction will be ashamed and they will be disgraced.
