Psalms 71:4-11

⁴My God, rescue me out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.

⁵For thou art my hope, O Lord Jehovah, my confidence from my youth.

⁶On thee have I been stayed from the womb; from the bowels of my mother thou didst draw me forth: my praise shall be continually of thee.

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

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

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

¹⁰For mine enemies speak against me, and they that watch for my soul consult together,

¹¹Saying, God hath forsaken him; pursue and seize him, for there is none to deliver.
