Psalms 71:1

¹In you, LORD, I take refuge. Let me never be disappointed. Deliver me in your righteousness. ²Bow down your ear to me. Deliver me speedily. Be to me a strong rock, a house of defense to save me. ³For you are my rock and my fortress, therefore for your name’s sake lead me and guide me.

²My God, I have trusted in you. Don’t let me be shamed. Don’t let my enemies triumph over me. ³Yes, no one who waits for you will be shamed. They will be shamed who deal treacherously without cause.

⁶Because it is contained in Scripture, “Behold, ^[+] I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, chosen and precious. He who believes in him will not be disappointed.”

⁵They cried to you, and were delivered. They trusted in you, and were not disappointed.

¹Those who trust in the LORD are as Mount Zion, which can’t be moved, but remains forever.

¹⁸Let them be disappointed who persecute me, but don’t let me be disappointed. Let them be dismayed, but don’t let me be dismayed. Bring on them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.

²⁰They were helped against them, and the Hagrites were delivered into their hand, and all who were with them; for they cried to God in the battle, and he answered them because they put their trust in him.

¹⁷Israel will be saved by the LORD with an everlasting salvation. You will not be disappointed nor confounded to ages everlasting.

⁵Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD, his God,

⁵He trusted in the LORD, the God of Israel, so that after him was no one like him among all the kings of Judah, nor among them that were before him.
