## Psalms 71:5-8 in Context (Verses 2–11 KJV)
 
 [2 ](/kjv/psalms/71/2) Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me.
 
 [3 ](/kjv/psalms/71/3) 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.*
 
 [4 ](/kjv/psalms/71/4) Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/psalms/71/5) For thou *art* my hope, O Lord GOD: *thou art* my trust from my youth.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/psalms/71/6) 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.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/psalms/71/7) I am as a wonder unto many; but thou *art* my strong refuge.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/psalms/71/8) Let my mouth be filled *with* thy praise *and with* thy honour all the day.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/psalms/71/9) Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/psalms/71/10) For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,*
 
 [11 ](/kjv/psalms/71/11) Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for *there is* none to deliver *him*.
