Psalms 71:1-7

1In You, O Lord, I put my trust; Let me never be put to shame.

2Deliver me in Your righteousness, and cause me to escape; Incline Your ear to me, and save me.

3Be my strong refuge, To which I may resort continually; You have given the commandment to save me, For You are my rock and my fortress.

4Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, Out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.

5For You are my hope, O Lord God; You are my trust from my youth.

6By You I have been upheld from birth; You are He who took me out of my mother’s womb. My praise shall be continually of You.

7I have become as a wonder to many, But You are my strong refuge.
