Psalms 71:7-14

⁷I am as a wonder unto many; but Thou art my strong refuge.

⁸My mouth shall be filled with Thy praise, and with Thy glory all the day.

⁹Cast me not off in the time of old age; when my strength faileth, forsake me not.

¹⁰For mine enemies speak concerning me, and they that watch for my soul take counsel together,

¹¹Saying: 'God hath forsaken him; pursue and take him; for there is none to deliver.'

¹²O God, be not far from me; O my God, make haste to help me.

¹³Let them be ashamed and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and confusion that seek my hurt.

¹⁴But as for me, I will hope continually, and will praise Thee yet more and more.
