Psalms 71:1-7

1In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.

2Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thy ear to me, and save me.

3Be thou my strong habitation, where I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.1

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

5For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou art my trust from my youth.

6By thee have I been sustained from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother’s womb: my praise shall be continually of thee.

7I am as a wonder to many; but thou art my strong refuge.
