Lyrics (Psalm 71:1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 15,17):

Response: Since my mother's womb, you have been my strength.

In you, O LORD, I take refuge;
let me never be put to shame.
In your justice rescue me, and deliver me;
incline your ear to me, and save me. Response

Be my rock of refuge,
a stronghold to give me safety,
for you are my rock and my fortress.
O my God, rescue me from the hand of the wicked. Response

For you are my hope, O Lord;
my trust, O God, from my youth.
On you I depend from birth;
from my mother�s womb you are my strength. Response

My mouth shall declare your justice,
day by day your salvation.
O God, you have taught me from my youth,
and till the present I proclaim your wondrous deeds. Response
