"Do not reject me in my old age! When my strength fails, do not abandon me!"
— Psalms 71:9, NET Bible®
I have leaned on you since birth; you pulled me from my mother’s womb. I praise you continually.
Many are appalled when they see me, but you are my secure shelter.
I praise you constantly and speak of your splendor all day long.
Do not reject me in my old age! When my strength fails, do not abandon me!
For my enemies talk about me; those waiting for a chance to kill me plot my demise.
They say,“God has abandoned him. Run and seize him, for there is no one who will rescue him!”
O God, do not remain far away from me! My God, hurry and help me!
