Psalms 71:9-17

⁹Cast me not off at the time of old age, According to the consumption of my power forsake me not.

¹⁰For mine enemies have spoken against me, And those watching my soul have taken counsel together,

¹¹Saying, 'God hath forsaken him, Pursue and catch him, for there is no deliverer.'

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

¹³They are ashamed, they are consumed, Who are opposing my soul, They are covered with reproach and blushing, Who are seeking my evil,

¹⁴And I continually do wait with hope, And have added unto all Thy praise.

¹⁵My mouth recounteth Thy righteousness, All the day Thy salvation, For I have not known the numbers.

¹⁶I come in the might of the Lord Jehovah, I mention Thy righteousness — Thine only.

¹⁷God, Thou hast taught me from my youth, And hitherto I declare Thy wonders.
