诗篇71:
1耶和华啊，我投靠你。求你叫我永不羞愧。
2求你凭你的公义搭救我，救拔我，侧耳听我，拯救我。
3求你作我常住的磐石。你已经命定要救我。因为你是我的岩石，我的山寨。
4我的神啊，求你救我脱离恶人的手，脱离不义和残暴之人的手。
5主耶和华啊，你是我所盼望的。从我年幼你是我所倚靠的。
6我从出母胎被你扶持。使我出母腹的是你。我必常常赞美你。
7许多人以我为怪。但你是我坚固的避难所。
8你的赞美，你的荣耀，终日必满了我的口。
9我年老的时候，求你不要丢弃我。我力气衰弱的时候，求你不要离弃我。
10我的仇敌议论我。那些窥探要害我命的彼此商议，
11说，神已经离弃他。我们追赶他，捉拿他吧。因为没有人搭救。
12神啊，求你不要远离我。我的神啊，求你速速帮助我。
13愿那与我性命为敌的，羞愧被灭。愿那谋害我的，受辱蒙羞。
14我却要常常盼望，并要越发赞美你。
15我的口终日要述说你的公义，和你的救恩。因我不计其数。
16我要来说主耶和华大能的事。我单要提说你的公义。
17神啊，自我年幼时，你就教训我。直到如今，我传扬你奇妙的作为。
18神啊，我到年老发白的时候，求你不要离弃我，等我将你的能力指示下代，将你的大能指示后世的人。
19神啊，你的公义甚高。行过大事的神啊，谁能象你。
20你是叫我们多经历重大急难的，必使我们复活。从地的深处救上来。
21求你使我越发昌大，又转来安慰我。
22我的神啊，我要鼓瑟称赞你，称赞你的诚实。以色列的圣者阿，我要弹琴歌颂你。
23我歌颂你的时候，我的嘴唇，和你所赎我的灵魂，都必欢呼。
24并且我的舌头，必终日讲论你的公义，因为那些谋害我的人，已经蒙羞受辱了。
1O Lord, I have come to you for protection;don’t let me be disgraced.
2Save me and rescue me,for you do what is right.Turn your ear to listen to me,and set me free.
3Be my rock of safetywhere I can always hide.Give the order to save me,for you are my rock and my fortress.
4My God, rescue me from the power of the wicked,from the clutches of cruel oppressors.
5O Lord, you alone are my hope.I’ve trusted you, O Lord, from childhood.
6Yes, you have been with me from birth;from my mother’s womb you have cared for me.No wonder I am always praising you!
7My life is an example to many,because you have been my strength and protection.
8That is why I can never stop praising you;I declare your glory all day long.
9And now, in my old age, don’t set me aside.Don’t abandon me when my strength is failing.
10For my enemies are whispering against me.They are plotting together to kill me.
11They say, “God has abandoned him.Let’s go and get him,for no one will help him now.”
12O God, don’t stay away.My God, please hurry to help me.
13Bring disgrace and destruction on my accusers.Humiliate and shame those who want to harm me.
14But I will keep on hoping for your help;I will praise you more and more.
15I will tell everyone about your righteousness.All day long I will proclaim your saving power,though I am not skilled with words.#71:15 Or though I cannot count it.
16I will praise your mighty deeds, O Sovereign Lord.I will tell everyone that you alone are just.
17O God, you have taught me from my earliest childhood,and I constantly tell others about the wonderful things you do.
18Now that I am old and gray,do not abandon me, O God.Let me proclaim your power to this new generation,your mighty miracles to all who come after me.
19Your righteousness, O God, reaches to the highest heavens.You have done such wonderful things.Who can compare with you, O God?
20You have allowed me to suffer much hardship,but you will restore me to life againand lift me up from the depths of the earth.
21You will restore me to even greater honorand comfort me once again.
22Then I will praise you with music on the harp,because you are faithful to your promises, O my God.I will sing praises to you with a lyre,O Holy One of Israel.
23I will shout for joy and sing your praises,for you have ransomed me.
24I will tell about your righteous deedsall day long,for everyone who tried to hurt mehas been shamed and humiliated.
