The Book of Psalms 71

71 Yahweh, I have come to you to be safe;

never allow me to become ashamed.

2 Because you always do what is right, help me and rescue me;

listen to me, and save me!

3 Be like a huge rock on top of which I can be safe;

be like a strong fortress in which I am safe.

You have commanded your angels to rescue me.

4 God, rescue me from wicked people,

from the power of unjust and 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 all my life;

you have taken care of me since the day that I was born,

so I will always praise you.

7 The manner in which you have rescued me has been an example to many people

because they realize that you have been my strong defender.

8 I praise you all during the day,

and I proclaim that you are glorious.

9 Now when I have become an old man, do not reject me;

do not abandon me now when I am not strong anymore.

10 My enemies say that they want to kill me;

they talk together and plan how they can do that.

11 They say, “God has abandoned him;

so now we can pursue him and seize him

because there is no one who will rescue him.”

12 God, do not stay far away from me;

hurry to help me!

13 Cause those who accuse me to be defeated and destroyed;

cause those who want to harm me to be shamed and disgraced.

14 But as for me, I will continually and confidently expect you to do great things for me,

and I will praise you more and more.

15 I will tell people that you do what is right;

all during the day I will tell people how you have saved me,

although what you have done is more than I can fully understand.

16 Yahweh, my Lord, I will praise you for your mighty deeds;

I will proclaim that only you always act justly.

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

and I still tell people about your wonderful deeds.

18 Now, God, when I am old and my hair is gray,

do not abandon me.

Stay with me while I continue to proclaim to my children and grandchildren.

19 God, you do many righteous deeds;

it is as though they extend up to the sky.

You have done great things;

there is no one like you.

20 You have caused us to have many troubles and to suffer much,

but you will cause us to become strong again;

when I am almost dead, you will keep us alive.

21 You will cause me to be greatly honored,

and you will encourage me again.

22 I will also praise you while I play my harp;

I will praise you, my God, for faithfully doing what you have promised to do.

I will play hymns to praise you, the holy God whom we Israelites worship.

23 I will shout joyfully while I sing;

with my entire inner being I will sing

because you have rescued me.

24 All during the day I will tell people that you act righteously

because those who wanted to harm me will have been defeated and disgraced.
