Psalms 71:1-7

1 1In You, O Lord, I have taken refuge; Let me never be ashamed.2 2In Your righteousness deliver me and rescue me; 3Incline Your ear to me and save me.3 4Be to me a rock of 5habitation to which I may continually come; You have given 6commandment to save me, For You are 7my 8rock and my fortress.4 9Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, Out of the 10grasp of the wrongdoer and ruthless man,5For You are my 11hope; O Lord 12God, You are my 13confidence from my youth.6 14By You I have been 15sustained from my birth; You are He who 16took me from my mother’s womb; My 17praise is continually 18of You.

7I have become a 19marvel to many, For You are 20my strong refuge.
