Psalm 71:3-8 English Standard Version (ESV)

3. Be to me a rock of refuge,to which I may continually come;you have given the command to save me,for you are my rock and my fortress.

4. Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked,from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man.

5. For you, O Lord, are my hope,my trust, O Lord, from my youth.

6. Upon you I have leaned from before my birth;you are he who took me from my mother’s womb.My praise is continually of you.

7. I have been as a portent to many,but you are my strong refuge.

8. My mouth is filled with your praise,and with your glory all the day.
