Psalms 71:1-4

¹In Thee, O Jehovah, I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed to the age.

²In Thy righteousness Thou dost deliver me, And dost cause me to escape, Incline unto me Thine ear, and save me.

³Be to me for a rock — a habitation, To go in continually, Thou hast given command to save me, For my rock and my bulwark art Thou.

⁴O my God, cause me to escape From the hand of the wicked, From the hand of the perverse and violent.
