Psalm 71

71 You, Yahweh, are the one who keeps me safe.

May it always be clear that I was right to trust you.

2 Because you always do what is right,

take action to help me.

Consider my situation and save me!

3 You declare that I will be safe,

since you are the one who keeps me safe and protects me,

so please be like a huge rock on top of which I can always go to be safe.

4 My God, please rescue me from what wicked people want to do to me.

Rescue me from the power of violent, evil men.

5 Yahweh my Lord, you are the one whom I confidently expect to help me.

I have trusted in you ever since I was young.

6 I have depended on you for my entire life;

you even made sure that I was born safely,

so I will always praise you.

7 It shocks many people to see me now,

but you are my mighty protector.

8 I praise you lavishly throughout the day for how glorious you are.

9 Please keep helping me now that I have become an old man.

Please help me even though I am not strong anymore.

10 My enemies are saying that they want to kill me,

and they are planning together how to do that.

11 They are saying, “No one will rescue him,

since God is not helping him anymore,

so we can pursue him and capture him.”

12 My God, do not neglect me;

hurry to help me!

13 Embarrass the people who want to kill me by making their plans fail.

Yes, completely shame and disgrace those who want to harm me!

14 But as for me, I will always trust you,

and I will praise you even more now than I have in the past.

15 I will tell people how you have saved me because you are good.

I will do that continually because there will always be more for me to say about this.

16 Yahweh my Lord, you are the one who gives me great strength.

I will recall to others how you do what is right in a way that no one else does.

17 God, you have taught me many things ever since I was young,

and I still tell people today about the wonderful things you do.

18 God, please keep helping me now that I am old and my hair is gray.

That way I will be able to tell my descendants how powerfully you have helped me.

19 God, you do so many great things because you are good,

it is as if they have piled up to the sky.

There is no one else like you, God!

20 You have allowed me to experience many very difficult things,

and it has seemed as if I was about to go to the place where dead people are,

but now please give me a good life again.

21 Please make me even greater than I was before,

and comfort me rather than allow me to have difficult experiences.

22 When you do that, then I will play my lute and praise you,

my God, for faithfully helping me.

I will play my harp as I sing to praise you.

You are the holy God whom we Israelites worship.

23 I will shout joyfully while I sing.

Because you will have rescued me,

I will sing to you wholeheartedly.

24 You will have defeated and disgraced the people who wanted to harm me,

so throughout the day I will describe how you did what was right.
