Tehillim 71
71
1In Thee, Hashem, do I put my trust; let me not be put to shame l'olam.
2Deliver me in Thy tzedakah, and cause me to escape; incline Thine ear unto me, and hoshi'eini (save me).
3Be Thou Tzur Ma'on (a rock of habitation), whereunto I may resort tamid (continually); Thou hast given commandment to save me; for Thou art my rock and my fortress.
4Deliver me, O Elohai, out of the yad of the rasha, out of the palm of the unrighteous and cruel man.
5For Thou art my tikveh (hope), Adonoi Hashem; Thou art my trust from my youth.
6By Thee have I been upheld from the beten (womb); Thou art He that took me out of the womb of immi; my tehillah (praise) shall be of Thee tamid (continually).
7I am as a mofet (portent) unto rabbim (many); but Thou art my strong refuge.
8Let my mouth be filled with Thy tehillah (praise) and with Thy tiferet (glory) kol hayom.
9Cast me not off in the time of ziknah (old age); forsake me not when my ko'ach faileth.
10For mine oyevim speak against me; and they that lay in wait for my nefesh conspire together,
11Saying, Elohim hath forsaken him; persecute and lay hold of him; for there is none to rescue him.
12O Elohim, be not far from me; O Elohai, make haste for my help.
13Let them be ashamed and consumed that are#71:13 satanic adversaries to my nefesh; let them be covered with cherpah (reproach) and dishonor that seek my hurt.
14But I will hope tamid (continually), and will yet give tehillah to Thee more and more.
15My mouth shall proclaim Thy tzedakah and Thy Teshuah (salvation) kol hayom; for I know not the limits thereof.
16I will come in the gevurot (mighty acts) of Adonoi Hashem; I will make mention of Thy tzedakah, even of Thine only.
17O Elohim, Thou hast taught me from my youth; and hitherto have I declared Thy nifle'ot (wondrous works).
18Now also when I am in ziknah (old age) and grayheaded, O Elohim, forsake me not; until I have declared Thy zero'a#71:18 Moshiach; see Isa 53:1 unto this generation, and Thy gevurah to everyone that is to come.
19Thy tzedakah also, O Elohim, is ad marom (to the heights). Thou Who hast done gedolot (great things); O Elohim, mi khamocha (who is like unto Thee)?
20Thou, which hast showed me great and severe tzoros, shalt revive me again, and shalt bring me up again from the tehomot (abysses) of ha'aretz.
21Thou shalt increase my gedolah, and comfort me on every side.
22I will also praise Thee with the nevel (lyre), even Thy emes, O Elohai; unto Thee will I sing with the kinnor (harp), O Thou Kadosh Yisroel.
23My lips shall shout for joy when I sing unto Thee; and my nefesh, which Thou hast purchased for redemption.
24My leshon also shall tell of Thy tzedakah kol hayom; for they are brought unto shame, they are humiliated that seek my hurt.

Psalms 71

Psalm 71
1I have taken refuge in you, O Lord.
Never let me be put to shame.
2Rescue me and free me because of your righteousness.
Turn your ear toward me, and save me.
3Be a rock on which I may live,
a place where I may always go.
You gave the order to save me!
Indeed, you are my rock and my fortress.
4My God, free me from the hands of a wicked person,
from the grasp of one who is cruel and unjust.
5You are my hope, O Almighty Lord.
You have been my confidence ever since I was young.
6I depended on you before I was born.
You took me from my mother’s womb.
My songs of praise constantly speak about you.
7I have become an example to many people,
but you are my strong refuge.
8My mouth is filled with your praise,
with your glory all day long.
9Do not reject me when I am old
or abandon me when I lose my strength.
10My enemies talk about me.
They watch me as they plot to take my life.
11They say, “God has abandoned him.
Pursue him and grab him because there is no one to rescue him.”
12O God, do not be so distant from me.
O my God, come quickly to help me.
13Let those who accuse me come to a shameful end.
Let those who want my downfall be covered
with disgrace and humiliation.
14But I will always have hope.
I will praise you more and more.
15My mouth will tell about your righteousness,
about your salvation all day long.
Even then, it is more than I can understand.
16I will come with the mighty deeds of the Almighty Lord.
I will praise your righteousness, yours alone.
17O God, you have taught me ever since I was young,
and I still talk about the miracles you have done.
18Even when I am old and gray, do not abandon me, O God.
Let me live to tell the people of this age
what your strength has accomplished,
to tell about your power to all who will come.
19Your righteousness reaches to the heavens, O God.
You have done great things.
O God, who is like you?
20You have made me endure many terrible troubles.
You restore me to life again.
You bring me back from the depths of the earth.
21You comfort me and make me greater than ever.
22Because of your faithfulness, O my God,
even I will give thanks to you as I play on a lyre.
I will make music with a harp to praise you, O Holy One of Israel.
23My lips will sing with joy when I make music to praise you.
My soul, which you have rescued, also will sing joyfully.
24My tongue will tell about your righteousness all day long,
because those who wanted my downfall
have been disgraced and put to shame.
