Prayer of an Old Man for Deliverance.

71 (A)In You, O Lord, I have taken refuge;
Let me never be ashamed.
(B)In Your righteousness deliver me and rescue me;
(C)Incline Your ear to me and save me.
(D)Be to me a rock of (E)habitation to which I may continually come;
You have given (F)commandment to save me,
For You are (G)my [a]rock and my fortress.
(H)Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked,
Out of the [b]grasp of the wrongdoer and ruthless man,
For You are my (I)hope;
O Lord [c]God, You are my (J)confidence from my youth.
[d]By You I have been (K)sustained from my birth;
You are He who (L)took me from my mother’s womb;
My (M)praise is continually [e]of You.
