| 71:1: In you, Yahweh, I take refuge. Never let me be disappointed. |
| 71:2: Deliver me in your righteousness, and rescue me. Turn your ear to me, and save me. |
| 71:3: Be to me a rock of refuge to which I may always go. Give the command to save me, For you are my rock and my fortress. |
| 71:4: Rescue me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, From the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. |
| 71:5: For you are my hope, Lord Yahweh; My confidence from my youth. |
| 71:6: I have relied on you from the womb. You are he who took me out of my mother's womb. I will always praise you. |
| 71:7: I am a marvel to many, But you are my strong refuge. |
| 71:8: My mouth shall be filled with your praise, With your honor all the day. |
| 71:9: Don't reject me in my old age. Don't forsake me when my strength fails. |
| 71:10: For my enemies talk about me. Those who watch for my soul conspire together, |
| 71:11: Saying, "God has forsaken him. Pursue and take him, for no one will rescue him." |
| 71:12: God, don't be far from me. My God, hurry to help me. |
| 71:13: Let my accusers be disappointed and consumed. Let them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to harm me. |
| 71:14: But I will always hope, And will add to all of your praise. |
| 71:15: My mouth will tell about your righteousness, And of your salvation all day, Though I don't know its full measure. |
| 71:16: I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord Yahweh. I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours alone. |
| 71:17: God, you have taught me from my youth. Until now, I have declared your wondrous works. |
| 71:18: Yes, even when I am old and gray-haired, God, don't forsake me, Until I have declared your strength to the next generation, Your might to everyone who is to come. |
| 71:19: Your righteousness also, God, reaches to the heavens; You have done great things. God, who is like you? |
| 71:20: You, who have shown us many and bitter troubles, You will let me live. You will bring us up again from the depths of the earth. |
| 71:21: Increase my honor, And comfort me again. |
| 71:22: I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, my God. I sing praises to you with the lyre, Holy One of Israel. |
| 71:23: My lips shall shout for joy! My soul, which you have redeemed, sings praises to you! |
| 71:24: My tongue will also talk about your righteousness all day long, For they are disappointed, and they are confounded, who want to harm me. |
