New King James Version

Psalms 71:1-6 New King James Version (NKJV)

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

2. Deliver me in Your righteousness, and cause me to escape;Incline Your ear to me, and save me.

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

4. Deliver 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 my hope, O Lord God;You are my trust from my youth.

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