Psalms 71:7-12

7When people see me, they see trouble! But you are a strong place to keep me safe.

8I can never stop praising you! All the time, I speak about your glory!

9Do not chase me away when I am old. When I am no longer strong, do not turn away from me.

10For my enemies say things against me. They think of ways that they can kill me.

11They say, ‘God has turned away from him. Run after him and catch him, for nobody will rescue him.’

12God, do not stay far away from me. My God, come quickly to help me!
