Psalms 71:1-4

¹Lord, I hoped in thee; be I not shamed without end;

²in thy rightwiseness deliver thou me, and ravish me out. Bow down thine ear to me; and make me safe.

³Be thou to me into God a defender; and into a strengthened place, that thou make me safe. For thou art my steadfastness; and my refuge.

⁴My God, deliver thou me from the hand of the sinner; and from the hand of a man doing against the law, and of the wicked man.
