71:1 In you, O Lord, I have taken shelter!
Never let me be humiliated!
71:2 Vindicate me by rescuing me! 2
Listen to me! 3 Deliver me! 4
71:3 Be my protector and refuge, 5
a stronghold where I can be safe! 6
For you are my high ridge 7 and my stronghold.
71:5 For you give me confidence, 8 O Lord;
O Lord, I have trusted in you since I was young. 9
71:6 I have leaned on you since birth; 10
you pulled me 11 from my mother’s womb.
I praise you continually. 12
