Psalms 71:1-7

JPS_ASV_Byz(i) 1 In Thee, O LORD, have I taken refuge; let me never be ashamed. 2 Deliver me in Thy righteousness, and rescue me; incline Thine ear unto me, and save me. 3 Be Thou to me a sheltering rock, whereunto I may continually resort, which Thou hast appointed to save me; for Thou art my rock and my fortress. 4 O my God, rescue me out of the hand of the wicked, out of the grasp of the unrighteous and ruthless man. 5 For Thou art my hope; O Lord GOD, my trust from my youth. 6 Upon Thee have I stayed myself from birth; Thou art He that took me out of my mother's womb; my praise is continually of Thee. 7 I am as a wonder unto many; but Thou art my strong refuge.
