Psalm 71
God’s Help in Old Age
1 Lord, I seek refuge in you;
let me never be disgraced.(A)
2 In your justice, rescue and deliver me;
listen closely to me and save me.(B)
3 Be a rock of refuge for me,
where I can always go.
Give the command to save me,
for you are my rock and fortress.(C)
4 Deliver me, my God, from the power of the wicked,
from the grasp of the unjust and oppressive.(D)
5 For you are my hope, Lord God,
my confidence from my youth.(E)
6 I have leaned on you from birth;
you took me from my mother’s womb.(F)
My praise is always about you.(G)
7 I am like a miraculous sign to many,
and you are my strong refuge.(H)
8 My mouth is full of praise
and honor to you all day long.(I)
9 Don’t discard me in my old age.
As my strength fails, do not abandon me.(J)
10 For my enemies talk about me,
and those who spy on me plot together,(K)
11 saying, “God has abandoned him;
chase him and catch him,
for there is no one to rescue him.”(L)
12 God, do not be far from me;
my God, hurry to help me.(M)
13 May my adversaries be disgraced and destroyed;
may those who intend to harm me
be covered with disgrace and humiliation.(N)
14 But I will hope continually
and will praise you more and more.(O)
15 My mouth will tell about your righteousness
and your salvation all day long,
though I cannot sum them up.(P)
16 I come because of the mighty acts of the Lord God;
I will proclaim your righteousness, yours alone.(Q)
17 God, you have taught me from my youth,
and I still proclaim your wondrous works.(R)
18 Even while I am old and gray,
God, do not abandon me,(S)
while I proclaim your power
to another generation,
your strength to all who are to come.(T)
19 Your righteousness reaches the heights, God,
you who have done great things;
God, who is like you?(U)
20 You caused me to experience
many troubles and misfortunes,(V)
but you will revive me again.(W)
You will bring me up again,
even from the depths of the earth.(X)
21 You will increase my honor
and comfort me once again.(Y)
22 Therefore, I will praise you with a harp
for your faithfulness, my God;
I will sing to you with a lyre,
Holy One of Israel.(Z)
23 My lips will shout for joy
when I sing praise to you
because you have redeemed me.(AA)
24 Therefore, my tongue will proclaim
your righteousness all day long,
for those who intend to harm me
will be disgraced and confounded.(AB)

Oración de un anciano
71 Señor, en ti busco protección;
¡no me defraudes jamás!
2 ¡Líbrame, ponme a salvo,
pues tú eres justo!
Dígnate escucharme, y sálvame.
3 Sé tú mi roca protectora,
¡sé tú mi castillo de refugio y salvación!
¡Tú eres mi roca y mi castillo!
4 Dios mío,
líbrame de las manos del malvado,
de las manos del criminal y del violento,
5 pues tú, Señor, desde mi juventud
eres mi esperanza y mi seguridad.
6 Aún estaba yo en el vientre de mi madre
y ya me apoyaba en ti.
¡Tú me hiciste nacer!
¡Yo te alabaré siempre!
7 He sido motivo de asombro para muchos,
pero tú eres mi refugio.
8 Todo el día están llenos mis labios
de alabanzas a tu gloria;
9 no me desprecies cuando ya sea viejo;
no me abandones cuando ya no tenga fuerzas.
10 Mis enemigos, los que quieren matarme,
se han aliado y hacen planes contra mí.
11 Dicen: «¡Persíganlo y agárrenlo,
pues Dios lo ha abandonado
y nadie puede salvarlo!»
12 No te alejes de mí, Dios mío;
¡ven pronto a ayudarme!
13 ¡Que sean avergonzados y destruidos
los enemigos de mi vida!
¡Que sean puestos en ridículo
los que quieren mi desgracia!
14 Pero yo esperaré en todo momento,
y más y más te alabaré;
15 todo el día anunciaré con mis labios
que tú nos has salvado y nos has hecho justicia.
¡Esto es algo que no alcanzo a comprender!
16 Contaré las grandes cosas que tú, Señor, has hecho;
¡proclamaré que sólo tú eres justo!
17 Dios mío,
tú me has enseñado desde mi juventud,
y aún sigo anunciando tus grandes obras.
18 Dios mío, no me abandones
aun cuando ya esté yo viejo y canoso,
pues aún tengo que hablar de tu gran poder
a esta generación y a las futuras.
19 Tu justicia, oh Dios, llega hasta el cielo;
tú has hecho grandes cosas;
¡no hay nadie como tú!
20 Aunque me has hecho ver
muchas desgracias y aflicciones,
me harás vivir de nuevo;
me levantarás de lo profundo de la tierra,
21 aumentarás mi grandeza
y volverás a consolarme.
22 Yo, por mi parte,
cantaré himnos y alabaré tu lealtad
al son del arpa y del salterio,
Dios mío, Santo de Israel.
23 Mis labios se alegrarán al cantarte,
lo mismo que todo mi ser, que tú has salvado.
24 También mi lengua dirá a todas horas
que tú eres justo,
pues los que querían mi desgracia
han quedado cubiertos de vergüenza.

Psalm 71(A)
1 In you, Lord, I have taken refuge;(B)
let me never be put to shame.(C)
2 In your righteousness, rescue me and deliver me;
turn your ear(D) to me and save me.
3 Be my rock of refuge,
to which I can always go;
give the command to save me,
for you are my rock and my fortress.(E)
4 Deliver(F) me, my God, from the hand of the wicked,(G)
from the grasp of those who are evil and cruel.(H)
5 For you have been my hope,(I) Sovereign Lord,
my confidence(J) since my youth.
6 From birth(K) I have relied on you;
you brought me forth from my mother’s womb.(L)
I will ever praise(M) you.
7 I have become a sign(N) to many;
you are my strong refuge.(O)
8 My mouth(P) is filled with your praise,
declaring your splendor(Q) all day long.
9 Do not cast(R) me away when I am old;(S)
do not forsake(T) me when my strength is gone.
10 For my enemies(U) speak against me;
those who wait to kill(V) me conspire(W) together.
11 They say, “God has forsaken(X) him;
pursue him and seize him,
for no one will rescue(Y) him.”
12 Do not be far(Z) from me, my God;
come quickly, God, to help(AA) me.
13 May my accusers(AB) perish in shame;(AC)
may those who want to harm me
be covered with scorn and disgrace.(AD)
14 As for me, I will always have hope;(AE)
I will praise you more and more.
15 My mouth will tell(AF) of your righteous deeds,(AG)
of your saving acts all day long—
though I know not how to relate them all.
16 I will come and proclaim your mighty acts,(AH) Sovereign Lord;
I will proclaim your righteous deeds, yours alone.
17 Since my youth, God, you have taught(AI) me,
and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds.(AJ)
18 Even when I am old and gray,(AK)
do not forsake me, my God,
till I declare your power(AL) to the next generation,
your mighty acts to all who are to come.(AM)
19 Your righteousness, God, reaches to the heavens,(AN)
you who have done great things.(AO)
Who is like you, God?(AP)
20 Though you have made me see troubles,(AQ)
many and bitter,
you will restore(AR) my life again;
from the depths of the earth(AS)
you will again bring me up.
21 You will increase my honor(AT)
and comfort(AU) me once more.
22 I will praise you with the harp(AV)
for your faithfulness, my God;
I will sing praise to you with the lyre,(AW)
Holy One of Israel.(AX)
23 My lips will shout for joy(AY)
when I sing praise to you—
I whom you have delivered.(AZ)
24 My tongue will tell of your righteous acts
all day long,(BA)
for those who wanted to harm me(BB)
have been put to shame and confusion.(BC)
