Psalms 71:1-7

1Lord, I seek refuge in you; let me never be disgraced.

2In your justice, rescue and deliver me; listen closely to me and save me.

3Be a rock of refuge for me, where I can always go. Give the command to save me, for you are my rock and fortress.

4Deliver me, my God, from the power of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and oppressive.

5For you are my hope, Lord God, my confidence from my youth.

6I have leaned on you from birth; you took me from my mother’s womb. My praise is always about you.

7I am like a miraculous sign to many, and you are my strong refuge.
