Psalms 71:1-6 ▼

1 In you, Yahweh, I take refuge. Never let me be disappointed.

2 Deliver me in your righteousness, and rescue me. Turn your ear to me, and save me.

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

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

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

6 I have relied on you from the womb. You are he who took me out of my mother’s womb. I will always praise you.
