Psalms 71:1-7

¹Yahweh, I have come to you to ◄get refuge/be protected►; never allow me to become ashamed because of being defeated.

²Because you always do what is right, help me and rescue me; listen to me, and save me!

³Be like an overhanging rock MET under which I can be safe/protected; be like a strong fortress in which I am safe DOU. You continually command (OR, Continually command) your angels to rescue me.

⁴God, rescue me from wicked people, from the power of unjust and evil men.

⁵Yahweh, my Lord, you are the one whom I confidently expect to help me; I have trusted in you since I was young.

⁶I have depended on you all my life; you have taken care of me IDM since the day that I was born, so I will always praise you.

⁷The manner in which I have conducted my life has been an example to many people, because they realize that you have been my strong defender.
