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.
71:4 My God, rescue me from the power 8 of the wicked,
from the hand of the cruel oppressor!
71:5 For you give me confidence, 9 O Lord;
O Lord, I have trusted in you since I was young. 10
