PSALMS 71:2-9

²Deliver me in thy righteousness, and rescue me: bow down thine ear unto me, and save me.

³Be thou to me a rock of habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.

⁴Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.

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

⁶By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother’s bowels: my praise shall be continually of thee.

⁷I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge.

⁸My mouth shall be filled with thy praise, and with thy honour all the day.

⁹Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.
