71:1 In you, O Lord, I have taken shelter!
Never let me be humiliated!
71:2 Vindicate me by rescuing me! 2
Listen to me! 3 Deliver me! 4
2:26 You will have plenty to eat,
and your hunger will be fully satisfied; 5
you will praise the name of the Lord your God,
who has acted wondrously in your behalf.
My people will never again be put to shame.
2:27 You will be convinced that I am in the midst of Israel.
I am the Lord your God; there is no other.
My people will never again be put to shame.
1 sn Psalm 71. The psalmist prays for divine intervention and expresses his confidence that God will protect and vindicate him. The first three verses are very similar to Ps 31:1-3a.
2 tn Heb “in your vindication rescue me and deliver me.” Ps 31:1 omits “and deliver me.”
3 tn Heb “turn toward me your ear.”
4 tn Ps 31:2 adds “quickly” before “deliver.”
5 tn Heb “you will surely eat and be satisfied.”
