Psalms 71:9-15

⁹Do not throw me away in my time of old age; do not abandon me when my strength fails.

¹⁰For my enemies are talking about me; those who watch for my life are plotting together.

¹¹They say, “God has forsaken him; pursue and take him, for there is no one to save him.”

¹²God, do not be far from me; my God, hurry to help me.

¹³Let them be put to shame and destroyed, those who are hostile to my life; let them be covered with rebuke and dishonor, those who seek my hurt.

¹⁴But I will always hope in you and will praise you more and more.

¹⁵My mouth will tell about your righteousness and your salvation all the day, although I cannot understand it.
