| 71:1 | In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion. | |
| 71:2 | Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thy ear to me, and save me. | |
| 71:3 | Be thou my strong habitation, to which I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou my rock and my fortress. | |
| 71:4 | Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. | |
| 71:5 | For thou my hope, O Lord GOD: my trust from my youth. | |
| 71:6 | By thee have I been sustained from my birth: thou art he that brought me into life: my praise continually of thee. | |
| 71:7 | I am as a wonder to many; but thou my strong refuge. | |
| 71:8 | Let my mouth be filled thy praise thy honor all the day. | |
| 71:9 | Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth. | |
| 71:10 | For my enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together, | |
| 71:11 | Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for none to deliver . | |
| 71:12 | O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help. | |
| 71:13 | Let them be confounded consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered reproach and dishonor that seek my hurt. | |
| 71:14 | But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more. | |
| 71:15 | My mouth shall show forth thy righteousness thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers . | |
| 71:16 | I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, of thine only. | |
| 71:17 | O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works. | |
| 71:18 | Now also when I am old and gray-headed, O God, forsake me not; until I have shown thy strength to generation, thy power to every one is to come. | |
| 71:19 | Thy righteousness also, O God, very high, who hast done great things: O God, who like to thee! | |
| 71:20 | , who hast shown me great and severe troubles, wilt revive me again, and wilt bring me again from the depths of the earth. | |
| 71:21 | Thou wilt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side. | |
| 71:22 | I will also praise thee with the psaltery, thy truth, O my God: to thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel. | |
| 71:23 | My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing to thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed. | |
| 71:24 | My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought to shame, that seek my hurt. | |
