Psalms 70
1
Save me, O God! Lord, help me now!
2
May those who try to kill me be defeated and confused. May those who are happy because of my troubles be turned back and disgraced.
3
May those who make fun of me be dismayed by their defeat.
4
May all who come to you be glad and joyful. May all who are thankful for your salvation always say, "How great is God!"
5
I am weak and poor; come to me quickly, O God. You are my savior and my Lord - hurry to my aid!

Psalms 71
1
Lord, I have come to you for protection; never let me be defeated!
2
Because you are righteous, help me and rescue me. Listen to me and save me!
3
Be my secure shelter and a strong fortress to protect me; you are my refuge and defense.
4
My God, rescue me from wicked people, from the power of cruel and evil people.
5
Sovereign Lord, I put my hope in you; I have trusted in you since I was young.
6
I have relied on you all my life; you have protected me since the day I was born. I will always praise you.
7
My life has been an example to many, because you have been my strong defender.
8
All day long I praise you and proclaim your glory.
9
Do not reject me now that I am old; do not abandon me now that I am feeble.
10
My enemies want to kill me; they talk and plot against me.
11
They say, "God has abandoned him; let's go after him and catch him; there is no one to rescue him."
12
Don't stay so far away, O God; my God, hurry to my aid!
13
May those who attack me be defeated and destroyed. May those who try to hurt me be shamed and disgraced.
14
I will always put my hope in you; I will praise you more and more.
15
I will tell of your goodness; all day long I will speak of your salvation, though it is more than I can understand.
16
I will go in the strength of the Lord God; I will proclaim your goodness, yours alone.
17
You have taught me ever since I was young, and I still tell of your wonderful acts.
18
Now that I am old and my hair is gray, do not abandon me, O God! Be with me while I proclaim your power and might to all generations to come.
19
Your righteousness, God, reaches the skies. You have done great things; there is no one like you.
20
You have sent troubles and suffering on me, but you will restore my strength; you will keep me from the grave.
21
You will make me greater than ever; you will comfort me again.
22
I will indeed praise you with the harp; I will praise your faithfulness, my God. On my harp I will play hymns to you, the Holy One of Israel.
23
I will shout for joy as I play for you; with my whole being I will sing because you have saved me.
24
I will speak of your righteousness all day long, because those who tried to harm me have been defeated and disgraced.
