Psalm 71:9-18
Don’t push me away when I’m old.
Don’t desert me when my strength is gone.
My enemies speak against me.
Those who want to kill me get together and make evil plans.
They say, “God has deserted him.
Go after him and grab him.
No one will save him.”
God, don’t be far away from me.
My God, come quickly and help me.
May those who bring charges against me die in shame.
May those who want to harm me
be covered with shame and dishonor.
But I will always have hope.
I will praise you more and more.
I will tell other people about all the good things you have done.
All day long I will talk about how you have saved your people.
But there’s no way I could say how many times you’ve done this.
Lord and King, I will come and announce your mighty acts.
I will announce all the good things that you alone do.
God, ever since I was young you have taught me.
To this very day I tell about your wonderful acts.
God, don’t leave me
even when I’m old and have gray hair.
Let me live to tell my children about your power.
Let me tell all of them about your mighty acts.
