Psalm 70:1–6

In you, O Lord, do I take refuge;

let me never be put to shame!

In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me;

incline your ear to me, and save me!

Be to me a rock of refuge,

to which I may continually come;

you have given the command to save me,

for you are my rock and my fortress.

Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked,

from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man.

For you, O Lord, are my hope,

my trust, O Lord, from my youth.

Upon you I have leaned from before my birth;

you are he who took me from my mother’s womb.

My praise is continually of you.

In you, Lord, I have taken refuge;

let me never be put to shame.

In your righteousness, rescue me and deliver me;

turn your ear to me and save me.

Be my rock of refuge,

to which I can always go;

give the command to save me,

for you are my rock and my fortress.

Deliver me, my God, from the hand of the wicked,

from the grasp of those who are evil and cruel.

For you have been my hope, Sovereign Lord,

my confidence since my youth.

From birth I have relied on you;

you brought me forth from my mother’s womb.

I will ever praise you.

Lord, I seek refuge in you;

let me never be disgraced.

In your justice, rescue and deliver me;

listen closely to me and save me.

Be a rock of refuge for me,

where I can always go.

Give the command to save me,

for you are my rock and fortress.

Deliver me, my God, from the power of the wicked,

from the grasp of the unjust and oppressive.

For you are my hope, Lord God,

my confidence from my youth.

I have leaned on you from birth;

you took me from my mother’s womb.

My praise is always about you.

O Lord, I have come to you for protection;

don’t let me be disgraced.

Save me and rescue me,

for you do what is right.

Turn your ear to listen to me,

and set me free.

Be my rock of safety

where I can always hide.

Give the order to save me,

for you are my rock and my fortress.

My God, rescue me from the power of the wicked,

from the clutches of cruel oppressors.

O Lord, you alone are my hope.

I’ve trusted you, O Lord, from childhood.

Yes, you have been with me from birth;

from my mother’s womb you have cared for me.

No wonder I am always praising you!

In you, O Yahweh, I have taken refuge;

let me never be put to shame.

In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me;

incline your ear to me and save me.

Be for me a rock of refuge to resort to always;

you have ordained to save me,

because you are my rock and my fortress.

My God, rescue me from the hand of the wicked,

from the grasp of the evildoer and the oppressor,

because you are my hope,

O Lord Yahweh, my confidence from my youth.

Upon you I have leaned from birth.

It was you who took me from the womb of my mother.

My praise is of you continually.

In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust:

Let me never be put to confusion.

Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape:

Incline thine ear unto me, and save me.

Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort:

Thou hast given commandment to save me;

For thou art my rock and my fortress.

Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked,

Out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.

For thou art my hope, O Lord God:

Thou art my trust from my youth.

By thee have I been holden up from the womb:

Thou art he that took me out of my mother’s bowels:

My praise shall be continually of thee.
