Context of Psalms 71:5
3Be to me a rock of refuge, to which I may continually come; you have given the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress. 4Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man. For you, O Lord, are my hope, my trust, O Lord, from my youth. 6Upon you I have leaned from before my birth; you are he who took me from my mother's womb. My praise is continually of you. 7I have been as a portent to many, but you are my strong refuge.
