PSALM 71:1-6 METER: 87 87 66 66 7 TUNE: EIN FESTE BURG This is the tune for the hymn "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God" 1. In you, O Lord, I take refuge; Let me be ashamed never. In justice save and rescue me; Incline your ear and save me. O Lord, be unto me A rock for my safety, A fortress of great strength, In which I may be saved, For you're my rock and fortress. 2. Save me, O God, from wicked hands, From the unjust and cruel. For you, Lord God, are all my hope; From days of youth, I trust you. Upon you I have leaned, Yes, ever since my birth; You are the one who took Me from my mother's womb. I will at all times praise you.
