Tehillim 71:1 In-Context

1 1 In Thee, Hashem, do I put my trust; let me not be put to shame l’olam.

2 Deliver me in Thy tzedakah, and cause me to escape; incline Thine ear unto me, and hoshi’eini (save me).

3 Be Thou Tzur Ma’on (a rock of habitation), whereunto I may resort tamid (continually); Thou hast given commandment to save me; for Thou art my rock and my fortress.

4 Deliver me, O Elohai, out of the yad of the rasha, out of the palm of the unrighteous and cruel man.

5 For Thou art my tikveh (hope), Adonoi Hashem; Thou art my trust from my youth.
