Psalm 71:1-8

Christian Standard Bible

¹ Lord, I seek refuge in you;
let me never be disgraced.^(A)
2 In your justice, rescue and deliver me;
listen closely to me and save me.^(B)
3 Be a rock of refuge for me,
where I can always go.
Give the command to save me,
for you are my rock and fortress.^(C)
4 Deliver me, my God, from the power of the wicked,
from the grasp of the unjust and oppressive.^(D)
5 For you are my hope, Lord God,
my confidence from my youth.^(E)
6 I have leaned on you from birth;
you took me from my mother’s womb.^(F)
My praise is always about you.^(G)
7 I am like a miraculous sign to many,
and you are my strong refuge.^(H)
8 My mouth is full of praise
and honor to you all day long.^(I)
