A Prayer for Deliverance

71 In you, Lord, I take refuge;
    let me never be humiliated.
Rescue and deliver me,[a] because you are righteous.
    Turn your ear to me and save me.
Be my sheltering refuge where I may go continuously;
    command my deliverance
        for you are my rock and fortress.

My God, deliver me from the power of the wicked
    and the grasp of ruthless practicers of evil.
For you are my hope, Lord God,
    my security since I was young.
