Psalm 71:4-6

New Catholic Bible

⁴ O my God, rescue me from the hands of the impious,
    from the grasp of cruel and ruthless foes.
⁵ You, O Lord, are my hope,
    my confidence, O God, from my youth.
⁶ I have relied upon you since birth,
    and you have been my strength from my mother’s womb;
    my praise rises unceasingly to you.^[a]
