Psalms 71:4-12

⁴God, rescue me from wicked people, from the power of unjust and evil men.

⁵Yahweh, my Lord, you are the one whom I confidently expect to help me; I have trusted in you since I was young.

⁶I have depended on you all my life; you have taken care of me IDM since the day that I was born, so I will always praise you.

⁷The manner in which I have conducted my life has been an example to many people, because they realize that you have been my strong defender.

⁸I praise you all day long, and I proclaim that you are glorious/wonderful.

⁹Now, when I have become an old man, do not reject/abandon me; do not abandon me now, when I am not strong anymore.

¹⁰My enemies say that they want to kill me; they plan together how they can do that.

¹¹They say about me, “God has abandoned him; so now we can pursue him and seize him, because there is no one who will rescue him.”

¹²God, do not stay far away from me; hurry to help me!
