Words for the Weary - Psalm 71

Send us Fan MailPsalm 71:1-8Lord, 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.I am like a miraculous sign to many,and you are my strong refuge.My mouth is full of praiseand honor to you all day long.Lord of all power and might, who art the author and giver of all good things; Graft in our hearts the love of thy Name, increase in us true religion, nourish us with all goodness, and of thy great mercy keep us in the same; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
