| 1 | In you, Yahweh, I take refuge. Never let me be put to shame. |
| 2 | Deliver me in your righteousness, and rescue me. Turn your ear to me, and save me. |
| 3 | Be to me a rock of refuge to which I may always go. Give the command to save me, For you are my rock and my fortress. |
| 4 | Rescue me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, From the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. |
| 5 | For you are my hope, Lord Yahweh; My confidence from my youth. |
| 6 | I have relied on you from the womb. You are he who took me out of my mother's womb. I will always praise you. |
| 7 | I am a marvel to many, But you are my strong refuge. |
| 8 | My mouth shall be filled with your praise, With your honor all the day. |
| 9 | Don't reject me in my old age. Don't forsake me when my strength fails. |
| 10 | For my enemies talk about me. Those who watch for my soul conspire together, |
| 11 | Saying, 'God has forsaken him. Pursue and take him, for no one will rescue him.' |
| 12 | God, don't be far from me. My God, hurry to help me. |
| 13 | Let my accusers be put to shame and consumed. Let them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to harm me. |
| 14 | But I will always hope, And will add to all of your praise. |
| 15 | My mouth will tell about your righteousness, And of your salvation all day, Though I don't know its full measure. |
| 16 | I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord Yahweh. I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours alone. |
| 17 | God, you have taught me from my youth. Until now, I have declared your wondrous works. |
| 18 | Yes, even when I am old and gray-headed, God, don't forsake me, Until I have declared your strength to the next generation, Your might to everyone who is to come. |
| 19 | Your righteousness also, God, reaches to the heavens; You who have done great things. God, who is like you? |
| 20 | You, who have showed us many and bitter troubles, You will let me live. You will bring us up again from the depths of the earth. |
| 21 | Increase my honor, And comfort me again. |
| 22 | I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, my God. I sing praises to you with the lyre, Holy One of Israel. |
| 23 | My lips shall shout for joy! My soul, which you have redeemed, sings praises to you! |
| 24 | My tongue will also talk about your righteousness all day long, For they are put to shame, and they are confounded, who want to harm me. Psalm 72 By Solomon. |
