Psalms 71:7-14

⁷My life has been like a miracle to many people, for you have been my powerful protector.

⁸All day long I am full of praise for you, telling how wonderful you are!

⁹Don't reject me now I'm getting old. When my strength is gone, please don't abandon me.

¹⁰For my enemies are talking about me; those who want to kill me are plotting together.

¹¹They say, “God has given up on him. Let's go after him because there's no one to save him.”

¹²God, please don't stay away from me. My God, hurry to help me!

¹³Defeat my accusers, get rid of them! May those who want to cause me trouble be covered with shame and disgrace!

¹⁴As for me, I will go on hoping in you, and I will praise you more and more.
