Psalm 71:1-6
1In you, O LORD, I take refuge; let me never be put to shame.
2In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me; incline your ear to me and save me.
3Be to me a rock of refuge, a strong fortress, to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.
4Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked,from the grasp of the unjust and cruel.
5For you, O LORD, are my hope,my trust, O LORD, from my youth.
6Upon you I have leaned from my birth; it was you who took me from my mother's womb. My praise is continually of you.
