71:1  In you, Adonai, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame.
71:2  In your righteousness, rescue me; and help me to escape. Turn your ear toward me, and deliver me.
71:3  Be for me a sheltering rock, where I can always come. You have determined to save me, because you are my bedrock and stronghold.
71:4  My God, help me escape from the power of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and ruthless.
71:5  For you are my hope, Adonai Elohim, in whom I have trusted since I was young.
71:6  From birth I have relied on you; it was you who took me from my mother’s womb.
71:7  To many, I am an amazing example; but you are strong protection for me.
71:8  My mouth is full of praise for you, filled with your glory all day long.
71:9  Don’t reject me when I grow old; when my strength fails, don’t abandon me.
71:10  For my enemies are talking about me, those seeking my life are plotting together.
71:11  They say, “God has abandoned him; go after him, and seize him, because no one will save him.”
71:12  God, don’t distance yourself from me! My God, hurry to help me!
71:13  May those who are opposed to me be put to shame and ruin; may those who seek to harm me be covered with scorn and disgrace.
71:14  But I, I will always hope and keep adding to your praise.
71:15  All day long my mouth will tell of your righteous deeds and acts of salvation, though their number is past my knowing.
71:16  I will come in the power of Adonai Elohim and recall your righteousness, yours alone.
71:17  God, you have taught me since I was young, and I still proclaim your wonderful works.
71:18  So now that I’m old, and my hair is gray, don’t abandon me, God, till I have proclaimed your strength to the next generation, your power to all who will come,
71:19  your righteousness too, God, which reaches to the heights. God, you have done great things; who is there like you?
71:20  You have made me see much trouble and hardship, but you will revive me again and bring me up from the depths of the earth.
71:21  You will increase my honor; turn and comfort me.
71:22  As for me, I will praise you with a lyre for your faithfulness, my God. I will sing praises to you with a lute, Holy One of Isra’el.
71:23  My lips will shout for joy; I will sing your praise, because you have redeemed me.
71:24  All day long my tongue will speak of your righteousness. For those who are seeking to harm me will be put to shame and disgraced.
