Psalms 71:1-6 ▼

1 LORD, I seek refuge in you; let me never be disgraced.

2 In your justice, rescue and deliver me; listen closely to me and save me.

3 Be a rock of refuge for me, where I can always go. Give the command to save me, for you are my rock and fortress.

4 Deliver me, my God, from the power of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and oppressive.

5 For you are my hope, Lord GOD, my confidence from my youth.

6 I have leaned on you from birth; you took me from my mother’s womb. My praise is always about you.
