| 71:1 | God the Rock of Salvation In You, O LORD, I put my trust; Let me never be put to shame. |
| 71:2 | Deliver me in Your righteousness, and cause me to escape; Incline Your ear to me, and save me. |
| 71:3 | Be my strong refuge, To which I may resort continually; You have given the commandment to save me, For You are my rock and my fortress. |
| 71:4 | Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, Out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. |
| 71:5 | For You are my hope, O Lord GOD; You are my trust from my youth. |
| 71:6 | By You I have been upheld from birth; You are He who took me out of my mother's womb. My praise shall be continually of You. |
| 71:7 | I have become as a wonder to many, But You are my strong refuge. |
| 71:8 | Let my mouth be filled with Your praise And with Your glory all the day. |
| 71:9 | Do not cast me off in the time of old age; Do not forsake me when my strength fails. |
| 71:10 | For my enemies speak against me; And those who lie in wait for my life take counsel together, |
| 71:11 | Saying, "God has forsaken him; Pursue and take him, for there is none to deliver him." |
| 71:12 | O God, do not be far from me; O my God, make haste to help me! |
| 71:13 | Let them be confounded and consumed Who are adversaries of my life; Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor Who seek my hurt. |
| 71:14 | But I will hope continually, And will praise You yet more and more. |
| 71:15 | My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness And Your salvation all the day, For I do not know their limits. |
| 71:16 | I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD; I will make mention of Your righteousness, of Yours only. |
| 71:17 | O God, You have taught me from my youth; And to this day I declare Your wondrous works. |
| 71:18 | Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, do not forsake me, Until I declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to everyone who is to come. |
| 71:19 | Also Your righteousness, O God, is very high, You who have done great things; O God, who is like You? |
| 71:20 | You, who have shown me great and severe troubles, Shall revive me again, And bring me up again from the depths of the earth. |
| 71:21 | You shall increase my greatness, And comfort me on every side. |
| 71:22 | Also with the lute I will praise You-- And Your faithfulness, O my God! To You I will sing with the harp, O Holy One of Israel. |
| 71:23 | My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing to You, And my soul, which You have redeemed. |
| 71:24 | My tongue also shall talk of Your righteousness all the day long; For they are confounded, For they are brought to shame Who seek my hurt. |
