Psalm 71

¹ In you, LORD, I have taken refuge;
let me never be put to shame.
² In your righteousness, rescue me and deliver me;
turn your ear to me and save me.
³ Be my rock of refuge,
to which I can always go;
give the command to save me,
for you are my rock and my fortress.
⁴ Deliver me, my God, from the hand of the wicked,
from the grasp of those who are evil and cruel.

⁵ For you have been my hope, Sovereign LORD,
my confidence since my youth.
⁶ From birth I have relied on you;
you brought me forth from my mother’s womb.
I will ever praise you.
⁷ I have become a sign to many;
you are my strong refuge.
⁸ My mouth is filled with your praise,
declaring your splendor all day long.

⁹ Do not cast me away when I am old;
do not forsake me when my strength is gone.
¹⁰ For my enemies speak against me;
those who wait to kill me conspire together.
¹¹ They say, “God has forsaken him;
pursue him and seize him,
for no one will rescue him.”
¹² Do not be far from me, my God;
come quickly, God, to help me.
¹³ May my accusers perish in shame;
may those who want to harm me
be covered with scorn and disgrace.

¹⁴ As for me, I will always have hope;
I will praise you more and more.

¹⁵ My mouth will tell of your righteous deeds,
of your saving acts all day long—
though I know not how to relate them all.
¹⁶ I will come and proclaim your mighty acts, Sovereign LORD;
I will proclaim your righteous deeds, yours alone.
¹⁷ Since my youth, God, you have taught me,
and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds.
¹⁸ Even when I am old and gray,
do not forsake me, my God,
till I declare your power to the next generation,
your mighty acts to all who are to come.

¹⁹ Your righteousness, God, reaches to the heavens,
you who have done great things.
Who is like you, God?
²⁰ Though you have made me see troubles,
many and bitter,
you will restore my life again;
from the depths of the earth
you will again bring me up.
²¹ You will increase my honor
and comfort me once more.

²² I will praise you with the harp
for your faithfulness, my God;
I will sing praise to you with the lyre,
Holy One of Israel.
²³ My lips will shout for joy
when I sing praise to you—
I whom you have delivered.
²⁴ My tongue will tell of your righteous acts
all day long,
for those who wanted to harm me
have been put to shame and confusion.

• Mildred Baena Breaks Her Silence About Arnold’s Love Child Scandal

  celebs: Arnold Schwarzenegger | Maria Shriver

  Mildred hangs out with her son (we’ve cropped him out, poor kid)…MySpace …Maria remained clueless about his existence until last summer.Getty ImagesIt’s taken less than a month for Mildred Baena to sell her side of the story to a celebrity magazine. In her first-ever interview, the former maid and mistress of Arnold Schwarzenegger opens up to Hello!magazine about raising his love child, and Maria Shriver‘s surprising reaction to learning the truth.

  Baena, who worked for the high-profile family for 20 years, was photographed for the magazine with 13-year-old son Joseph, the spitting image of Schwarzenegger.

  “Last summer, I brought Joseph over to the house,” Baena says in the interview (via People.com). “After that, people in the house started whispering about how much they looked like each other.”

  Shriver pushed for confirmation from Baena.

  “Maria would ask if I needed to talk to her, and I kept saying no,” she reveals. “Finally, she asked point blank. Maria asked me directly if Joseph was Arnold’s son, and I just broke down. I dropped to my knees and I was crying, saying that yes he was and I was so sorry. She cried with me and told me to get off my knees.”

  “Since I was retiring soon, I said I would pack up and leave right away, but she said to stay until after the holidays,” Baena adds.

  Baena reportedly retired sometime this past spring, leaving the Schwarzenegger manse in Brentwood for good. Squashing initial reports of a massive cover-up, Baena alleges she never told the ex-Governator that he is Joseph’s dad.

  “He’s a good man and I know he’s suffering too. He loves Maria. I hope with time they work things out,” she says.

  That’s a nice thought. But the damage, as they say, is already done.

A man accused of grabbing a woman’s gold chain from her neck in Old Harbour, St Catherine, on Friday was held and given a sound beating by residents.

For the past two weeks, the community has been thrown into the limelight after gold thieves killed a policewoman and robbed several people of their jewellery. Residents, apparently fed up with the spike in gold robberies, took out their frustration on the alleged chain grabber.

The Star was just in time to the see the bearded man on the ground trying to crawl away from the furious residents. “Murder, murder,” the man cried as blows rained down on parts of his bruised body.

Each time he attempted to get up in an effort to run from the residents, he was given several kicks and punches. The more he cried, the more blows he got.

“Di bwoy bright, after di woman go inside a di clothes store, him just grab di chain and run out near di market and up pon Ascot Drive weh him get ketch,” a man told The Star as he explained why the man was being beaten.

The visibly shaken victim suffered a bruise to her neck.

Other residents told The Star that in recent times, gold thieves have put the Old Harbour area and its environs under siege. “Yes, dem all kill di policewoman fi har chain and although some dead, dem still nah tek heed,” a business operator said.

Police from the nearby Old Harbour Police Station were quick on the scene and quickly took the injured man, later identified as Nathaniel Claire, a 29-year-old labourer of Burbey in 19 Miles, Clarendon, from the mob. Claire was later charged with larceny from the person.

He is booked to appear in the Old Harbour Resident Magistrate’s Court later this week.
