Psalms 71:1
In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame.
BSB
ASV
In thee, O Jehovah, do I take refuge: Let me never be put to shame.
KJV
In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.
In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust,.... The Targum is, "in thy Word;'' See Gill on Psa 31:1; let me never be put to confusion; or "be ashamed"; see the note as before.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.

The cornerstone will come from Judah, the tent peg from him, as well as the battle bow and every ruler together.
