Psalms 71:1

God the Rock of Salvation

1 In ^aYou, O Lord, I put my trust;
Let me never be put to shame.

2 ^aDeliver me in Your righteousness, and cause me to escape;
^bIncline Your ear to me, and save me.

3 ^aBe my¹ strong refuge,
To which I may resort continually;
You have given the ^bcommandment to save me,
For You are my rock and my fortress.

4 ^aDeliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked,
Out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.

5 For You are ^amy hope, O Lord GOD;
You are my trust from my youth.

6 ^aBy You I have been¹ upheld from birth;
You are He who took me out of my mother’s womb.
My praise shall be continually of You.

7 ^aI have become as a wonder to many,
But You are my strong refuge.

8 Let ^amy mouth be filled with Your praise
And with Your glory all the day.

9 Do not cast me off in the time of old age;
Do not forsake me when my strength fails.
