Psalms 71:1 In-Context

1 In you, ADONAI, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame.

2 In your righteousness, rescue me; and help me to escape. Turn your ear toward me, and deliver me.

3 Be for me a sheltering rock, where I can always come. You have determined to save me, because you are my bedrock and stronghold.

4 My God, help me escape from the power of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and ruthless.

5 For you are my hope, Adonai ELOHIM, in whom I have trusted since I was young.
