71:001

In Thee, O HaShem, have I taken refuge; let me never be ashamed

71:002

Deliver me in Thy righteousness, and rescue me; incline Thine ear unto me, and save me

71:003

Be Thou to me a sheltering rock, whereunto I may continually resort, which Thou hast appointed to save me; for Thou art my rock and my fortress

71:004

O my G-d, rescue me out of the hand of the wicked, out of the grasp of the unrighteous and ruthless man

71:005

For Thou art my hope; O L-rd GOD, my trust from my youth

71:006

Upon Thee have I stayed myself from birth; Thou art he that took me out of my mother's womb; my praise is continually of Thee

71:007

I am as a wonder unto many; but Thou art my strong refuge

71:008

My mouth shall be filled with Thy praise, and with Thy glory all the day

71:009

Cast me not off in the time of old age; when my strength faileth, forsake me not

71:010

For mine enemies speak concerning me, and they that watch for my soul take counsel together

71:011

Saying: 'G-d hath forsaken him; pursue and take him; for there is none to deliver.

71:012

O G-d, be not far from me; O my G-d, make haste to help me

71:013

Let them be ashamed and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and confusion that seek my hurt

71:014

But as for me, I will hope continually, and will praise Thee yet more and more

71:015

My mouth shall tell of Thy righteousness, and of Thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof

71:016

I will come with Thy mighty acts, O L-rd GOD; I will make mention of Thy righteousness, even of Thine only

71:017

O G-d, Thou hast taught me from my youth; and until now do I declare Thy wondrous works

71:018

And even unto old age and hoary hairs, O G-d, forsake me not; until I have declared Thy strength unto the next generation, Thy might to every one that is to come

71:019

Thy righteousness also, O G-d, which reacheth unto high heaven; Thou who hast done great things, O G-d, who is like unto Thee

71:020

Thou, who hast made me to see many and sore troubles, wilt quicken me again, and bring me up again from the depths of the earth

71:021

Thou wilt increase my greatness, and turn and comfort me

71:022

I also will give thanks unto Thee with the psaltery, even unto Thy truth, O my G-d; I will sing praises unto Thee with the harp, O Thou Holy One of Israel

71:023

My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing praises unto Thee; and my soul, which Thou hast redeemed

71:024

My tongue also shall tell of Thy righteousness all the day; for they are ashamed, for they are abashed, that seek my hurt
