Psalms 71:1-4

¹In thee, O LORD! do I put my trust! Let me never be put to shame!

²In thy goodness deliver and rescue me; Incline thine ear to me, and save me!

³Be thou the rock of my abode, where I may continually resort! Thou hast granted me deliverance; For thou art my rock and my fortress!

⁴Save me, O my God! from the hand of the wicked,-From the hand of the unjust and cruel!
