Psalms 71:1-7

1Lord, I have come to you to keep me safe. Never let me become ashamed.

2You always do what is right, so please rescue me! Listen to me, and come to save me!

3Be a rock where I can hide. Be a strong place where I can be safe. You are my high rock and my strong, safe place.

4My God, save me from the power of wicked people, so that those cruel people cannot catch me.

5My Lord, I trust you to help me. I have trusted in you, Lord, since I was young.

6Since I was born, you have been there to help me. You have taken care of me since my mother gave birth to me. So I will always praise you!

7When people see me, they see trouble! But you are a strong place to keep me safe.
