71:1  In you, O Lord, I take refuge; let me never be put to shame.
71:2  In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me; incline your ear to me and save me.
71:3  Be to me a rock of refuge, a strong fortress, to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.
71:4  Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and cruel.
71:5  For you, O Lord, are my hope, my trust, O Lord, from my youth.
71:6  Upon you I have leaned from my birth; it was you who took me from my mother’s womb. My praise is continually of you.
71:7  I have been like a portent to many, but you are my strong refuge.
71:8  My mouth is filled with your praise, and with your glory all day long.
71:9  Do not cast me off in the time of old age; do not forsake me when my strength is spent.
71:10  For my enemies speak concerning me, and those who watch for my life consult together.
71:11  They say, ‘Pursue and seize that person whom God has forsaken, for there is no one to deliver.’
71:12  O God, do not be far from me; O my God, make haste to help me!
71:13  Let my accusers be put to shame and consumed; let those who seek to hurt me be covered with scorn and disgrace.
71:14  But I will hope continually, and will praise you yet more and more.
71:15  My mouth will tell of your righteous acts, of your deeds of salvation all day long, though their number is past my knowledge.
71:16  I will come praising the mighty deeds of the Lord God, I will praise your righteousness, yours alone.
71:17  O God, from my youth you have taught me, and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds.
71:18  So even to old age and grey hairs, O God, do not forsake me, until I proclaim your might to all the generations to come. Your power
71:19  and your righteousness, O God, reach the high heavens. You who have done great things, O God, who is like you?
71:20  You who have made me see many troubles and calamities will revive me again; from the depths of the earth you will bring me up again.
71:21  You will increase my honour, and comfort me once again.
71:22  I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praises to you with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel.
71:23  My lips will shout for joy when I sing praises to you; my soul also, which you have rescued.
71:24  All day long my tongue will talk of your righteous help, for those who tried to do me harm have been put to shame, and disgraced.
