Psalms 71:1-7
1
Psalm 71
In you, O Lord, I have taken refuge;
let me never be put to shame.
2
Rescue me and deliver me in your righteousness;
turn your ear 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.
4
Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked,
from the grasp of evil and cruel men.
5
For you have been my hope, O Sovereign Lord,
my confidence since my youth.
6
From birth I have relied on you;
you brought me forth from my mother’s womb.
I will ever praise you.
7
I have become like a portent to many,
but you are my strong refuge.
