Ps 71

IIn you, Yahweh, I take refuge. Never let me be disappointed. (LXX 70:1; Rahlfs 70:1) בְּךָֽ־יְהוָ֥ה חָסִ֑יתִי אַל־אֵב֥וֹשָׁה לְעוֹלָֽם׃ 2Deliver me in your righteousness, and rescue me. Turn your ear to me, and save me. (LXX 70:2; Rahlfs 70:2) בְּצִדְקָתְךָ֗ תַּצִּילֵ֥נִי וּֽתְפַלְּטֵ֑נִי הַטֵּֽה־אֵלַ֥י אָ֝זְנְךָ֗ וְהוֹשִׁיעֵֽנִי׃ 3Be 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. (LXX 70:3; Rahlfs 70:3) הֱיֵ֤ה לִ֨י ׀ לְצ֥וּר מָע֡וֹן לָב֗וֹא תָּמִ֗יד צִוִּ֥יתָ לְהוֹשִׁיעֵ֑נִי כִּֽי־סַלְעִ֖י וּמְצוּדָתִ֣י אָֽתָּה׃ 4Rescue me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. (LXX 70:4; Rahlfs 70:4) אֱֽלֹהַ֗י פַּ֭לְּטֵנִי מִיַּ֣ד רָשָׁ֑ע מִכַּ֖ף מְעַוֵּ֣ל וְחוֹמֵץ׃ 5For you are my hope, Lord Yahweh, my confidence from my youth. (LXX 70:5; Rahlfs 70:5) כִּֽי־אַתָּ֥ה תִקְוָתִ֑י אֲדֹנָ֥י יְ֝הוִ֗ה מִבְטַחִ֥י מִנְּעוּרָֽי׃ 6I have relied on you from the womb. You are he who took me out of my mother’s womb. I will always praise you. (LXX 70:6; Rahlfs 70:6) עָלֶ֤יךָ ׀ נִסְמַ֬כְתִּי מִבֶּ֗טֶן מִמְּעֵ֣י אִ֭מִּי אַתָּ֣ה גוֹזִ֑י בְּךָ֖ תְהִלָּתִ֣י תָמִֽיד׃ 7I am a marvel to many, but you are my strong refuge. (LXX 70:7; Rahlfs 70:7) כְּ֭מוֹפֵת הָיִ֣יתִי לְרַבִּ֑ים וְ֝אַתָּ֗ה מַֽחֲסִי־עֹֽז׃ 8My mouth shall be filled with your praise, with your honor all day long. (LXX 70:8; Rahlfs 70:8) יִמָּ֣לֵא פִ֭י תְּהִלָּתֶ֑ךָ כָּל־הַ֝יּ֗וֹם תִּפְאַרְתֶּֽךָ׃ 9Don’t reject me in my old age. Don’t forsake me when my strength fails. (LXX 70:9; Rahlfs 70:9) אַֽל־תַּ֭שְׁלִיכֵנִי לְעֵ֣ת זִקְנָ֑ה כִּכְל֥וֹת כֹּ֝חִ֗י אַֽל־תַּעַזְבֵֽנִי׃ 10For my enemies talk about me. Those who watch for my soul conspire together, (LXX 70:10; Rahlfs 70:10) כִּֽי־אָמְר֣וּ אוֹיְבַ֣י לִ֑י וְשֹׁמְרֵ֥י נַ֝פְשִׁ֗י נוֹעֲצ֥וּ יַחְדָּֽו׃ 11saying, “God has forsaken him. Pursue and take him, for no one will rescue him.” (LXX 70:11; Rahlfs 70:11) לֵ֭אמֹר אֱלֹהִ֣ים עֲזָב֑וֹ רִֽדְפ֥וּ וְ֝תִפְשׂ֗וּהוּ כִּי־אֵ֥ין מַצִּֽיל׃ 12God, don’t be far from me. My God, hurry to help me. (LXX 70:12; Rahlfs 70:12) אֱ֭לֹהִים אַל־תִּרְחַ֣ק מִמֶּ֑נִּי אֱ֝לֹהַ֗י לְעֶזְרָ֥תִי חישה׃ 13Let my accusers be disappointed and consumed. Let them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to harm me. (LXX 70:13; Rahlfs 70:13) יֵבֹ֣שׁוּ יִכְלוּ֮ שֹׂטְנֵ֪י נַ֫פְשִׁ֥י יַֽעֲט֣וּ חֶ֭רְפָּה וּכְלִמָּ֑ה מְ֝בַקְשֵׁ֗י רָעָתִֽי׃ 14But I will always hope, and will add to all of your praise. (LXX 70:14; Rahlfs 70:14) וַ֭אֲנִי תָּמִ֣יד אֲיַחֵ֑ל וְ֝הוֹסַפְתִּ֗י עַל־כָּל־תְּהִלָּתֶֽךָ׃ 15My mouth will tell about your righteousness, and of your salvation all day, though I don’t know its full measure. (LXX 70:15; Rahlfs 70:15) פִּ֤י ׀ יְסַפֵּ֬ר צִדְקָתֶ֗ךָ כָּל־הַיּ֥וֹם תְּשׁוּעָתֶ֑ךָ כִּ֤י לֹ֖א יָדַ֣עְתִּי סְפֹרֽוֹת׃ 16I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord Yahweh. I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours alone. (LXX 70:16; Rahlfs 70:16) אָב֗וֹא בִּ֭גְבֻרוֹת אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֑ה אַזְכִּ֖יר צִדְקָתְךָ֣ לְבַדֶּֽךָ׃ 17God, you have taught me from my youth. Until now, I have declared your wondrous works. (LXX 70:17; Rahlfs 70:17) אֱֽלֹהִ֗ים לִמַּדְתַּ֥נִי מִנְּעוּרָ֑י וְעַד־הֵ֝֗נָּה אַגִּ֥יד נִפְלְאוֹתֶֽיךָ׃ 18Yes, even when I am old and gray-haired, God, don’t forsake me, until I have declared your strength to the next generation, your might to everyone who is to come. (LXX 70:18; Rahlfs 70:18) וְגַ֤ם עַד־זִקְנָ֨ה ׀ וְשֵׂיבָה֮ אֱלֹהִ֪ים אַֽל־תַּעַ֫זְבֵ֥נִי עַד־אַגִּ֣יד זְרוֹעֲךָ֣ לְד֑וֹר לְכָל־יָ֝ב֗וֹא גְּבוּרָתֶֽךָ׃ 19God, your righteousness also reaches to the heavens. You have done great things. God, who is like you? (LXX 70:19; Rahlfs 70:19) וְצִדְקָתְךָ֥ אֱלֹהִ֗ים עַד־מָ֫ר֥וֹם אֲשֶׁר־עָשִׂ֥יתָ גְדֹל֑וֹת אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים מִ֣י כָמֽוֹךָ׃ 20You, who have shown us many and bitter troubles, you will let me live. You will bring us up again from the depths of the earth. (LXX 70:20; Rahlfs 70:20) אֲשֶׁ֤ר הראיתנו ׀ צָר֥וֹת רַבּ֗וֹת וְרָ֫ע֥וֹת תָּשׁ֥וּב תחיינו וּֽמִתְּהֹמ֥וֹת הָ֝אָ֗רֶץ תָּשׁ֥וּב תַּעֲלֵֽנִי׃ 21Increase my honor and comfort me again. (LXX 70:21; Rahlfs 70:21) תֶּ֤רֶב ׀ גְּֽדֻלָּתִ֗י וְתִסֹּ֥ב תְּֽנַחֲמֵֽנִי׃ 22I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, my God. I sing praises to you with the lyre, Holy One of Israel. (LXX 70:22; Rahlfs 70:22) גַּם־אֲנִ֤י ׀ אוֹדְךָ֣ בִכְלִי־נֶבֶל֮ אֲמִתְּךָ֪ אֱלֹ֫הָ֥י אֲזַמְּרָ֣ה לְךָ֣ בְכִנּ֑וֹר קְ֝ד֗וֹשׁ יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ 23My lips shall shout for joy! My soul, which you have redeemed, sings praises to you! (LXX 70:23; Rahlfs 70:23) תְּרַנֵּ֣נָּ֣ה שְׂ֭פָתַי כִּ֣י אֲזַמְּרָה־לָּ֑ךְ וְ֝נַפְשִׁ֗י אֲשֶׁ֣ר פָּדִֽיתָ׃ 24My tongue will also talk about your righteousness all day long, for they are disappointed, and they are confounded, who want to harm me. (LXX 70:24; Rahlfs 70:24) גַּם־לְשׁוֹנִ֗י כָּל־הַ֭יּוֹם תֶּהְגֶּ֣ה צִדְקָתֶ֑ךָ כִּי־בֹ֥שׁוּ כִֽי־חָ֝פְר֗וּ מְבַקְשֵׁ֥י רָעָתִֽי׃
