Psalms 71:3-7

³Please listen to me, and save me. Be my rock of protection where I can always go and hide. You gave the command to save me; for you are my rock and fortress.

⁴My God, rescue me from the power of the wicked, from the clutches of those who are evil and brutal.

⁵For you, Lord God, are my hope. You are the one I have trusted since I was young.

⁶I have depended on you since birth; you have taken care of me from my mother's womb. That's why I'm always praising you!

⁷My life has been like a miracle to many people, for you have been my powerful protector.
