71:1
LORD, I have come to you for protection; never let me be defeated!
71:2
Because you are righteous, help me and rescue me. Listen to me and save me!
71:3
Be my secure shelter and a strong fortress to protect me; you are my refuge and
defense.
71:4
My God, rescue me from wicked people, from the power of cruel and evil people.
71:5
Sovereign LORD, I put my hope in you; I have trusted in you since I was young.
71:6
I have relied on you all my life; you have protected me
since the day I was born. I will always praise you.
71:7
My life has been an example to many, because you have been my strong defender.
71:8
All day long I praise you and proclaim your glory.
71:9
Do not reject me now that I am old; do not abandon me now that I am feeble.
71:10
My enemies want to kill me; they talk and plot against me.
71:11
They say, "God has abandoned him; let's go after him and catch him; there
is no one to rescue him."
71:12
Don't stay so far away, O God; my God, hurry to my aid!
71:13
May those who attack me be defeated and destroyed. May those who try to hurt me
be shamed and disgraced.
71:14
I will always put my hope in you; I will praise you
more and more.
71:15
I will tell of your goodness; all day long I will
speak of your salvation, though it is more than I can understand.
71:16
I will go in the strength of the LORD God; I will proclaim your goodness, yours
alone.
71:17
You have taught me ever since I was young, and I still tell of your wonderful
acts.
71:18
Now that I am old and my hair is gray, do not abandon
me, O God! Be with me while I proclaim your power and might to all generations
to come.
71:19
Your righteousness, God, reaches the skies. You have done great things; there
is no one like you.
71:20
You have sent troubles and suffering on me, but you will restore my strength;
you will keep me from the grave.
71:21
You will make me greater than ever; you will comfort me again.
71:22
I will indeed praise you with the harp; I will praise your faithfulness, my God.
On my harp I will play hymns to you, the Holy One of Israel.
71:23
I will shout for joy as I play for you; with my whole being I will sing because
you have saved me.
71:24
I will speak of your righteousness all day long, because those who tried to harm
me have been defeated and disgraced.
