Psalm 71:1-3
Contemporary English Version

A Prayer for God's Protection

1 I run to you, Lord,
for protection.
    Don't disappoint me.
2 You do what is right,
    so come to my rescue.
Listen to my prayer
    and keep me safe.
3 Be my mighty rock,[a] the place
where I can always run
    for protection.
Save me by your command!
You are my mighty rock
    and my fortress.
