My mouth is filled with your praise, with your glory all day long. 9Do not reject me when I am old or abandon me when I lose my strength. 10My enemies talk about me. They watch me as they plot to take my life.

The psalmist experienced God's power and protection in his youth (Psalm 71:5–8) and now prays for rescue from enemies who pursue him in his old age (Psalm 71:9–13). Even in danger, he continues to speak of God's past faithfulness and looks forward with hope to sharing with the next generation that God is faithful and righteous.Read the comment
