Psalms 71:1-6 ▼

1 In You, O Yahweh, I have taken refuge; Let me never be ashamed.

2 In Your righteousness deliver me and protect me; Incline Your ear to me and save me.

3 Be to me a rock of habitation to which I may continually come; You have given the command to save me, For You are my rock and my fortress.

4 Protect me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, Out of the grasp of the unrighteous and ruthless man,

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

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