Context of Psalms 71:5
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. For 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.
