Psalm 71
To you, Lord, have I come for shelter
: let me never be put to shame.
In your righteousness rescue and deliver me
: incline your ear to me and save me.
Be for me a rock of refuge, a fortress to defend me
: for you are my high rock, and my stronghold.
Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked
: from the grasp of the pitiless and unjust.
For you, Lord, are my hope
: you are my confidence, O God, from my youth upward.
On you have I leaned since my birth
: you are he that brought me out of my mother’s womb,
and my praise is of you continually.
