Psalms 71:7-12

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!
