Psalms 71:1-6

¹In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; let me never be made ashamed.

²In thy righteousness do thou deliver me and release me: incline thy ear unto me, and save me.

³Be thou unto me a rocky habitation, whereunto I may continually resort, which thou hast ordained to save me; for my rock and my strong-hold art thou.

⁴O my God, release me out of the hand of the wicked, out of the grasp of the unrighteous and violent man.

⁵For thou art my hope, O Lord Eternal: thou art my trust from my youth.

⁶By thee have I been supported from my birth: thou art he that took me out of my mother's womb: of thee is my praise continually.
