Psalms 71:1-6

¹In you, O Lord, have I put my hope; let me never be shamed.

²Keep me safe in your righteousness, and come to my help; give ear to my voice, and be my saviour.

³Be my strong Rock, the strong place of my salvation; for you are my Rock, and my safe place.

⁴O my God, take me out of the hand of the sinner, out of the hand of the evil and cruel man.

⁵For you are my hope, O Lord God; I have had faith in you from the time when I was young.

⁶You have been my support from the day of my birth; you took me out of my mother's body; my praise will be ever of you.
