Psalms 71:6

4 Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and ruthless.

5 For You are my hope, O Lord GOD, my confidence from my youth.

I have leaned on You since birth; You pulled me from my mother’s womb. My praise is always for You.

7 I have become a portent to many, but You are my strong refuge.

8 My mouth is filled with Your praise and with Your splendor all day long.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
