For thou [art] my hope, O Lord God

Psalms 71:5 In-Context

3 Be a guest room where I can retreat; you said your door was always open! You're my salvation - my vast, granite fortress.
4 My God, free me from the grip of Wicked, from the clutch of Bad and Bully.
5 You keep me going when times are tough - my bedrock, God, since my childhood.
6 I've hung on you from the day of my birth, the day you took me from the cradle; I'll never run out of praise.
7 Many gasp in alarm when they see me, but you take me in stride.
