Psalms 71:1-4

¹In you, Yahweh, I take refuge; let me never be put to shame.

²Rescue me and make me safe in your righteousness; turn your ear to me and save me.

³Be to me a rock for refuge where I may always go; you have given a command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.

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