Context of Psalms 71:5
3Be to me a sheltering rock where I may always go. Give the command to save me— for You are my rock and my fortress. 4My God, rescue me out of the hand of the wicked, out of the grasp of an evil, ruthless man. For You are my hope, Adonai my Lord— my trust from my youth. 6From my birth I have leaned on You. You took me out of my mother’s womb. My praise is always about You. 7I am like an ominous sign to many, but You are my strong refuge.
