Psalms 71:5-18

5For You are my 1hope; Lord 2God, You are my 3confidence from my youth.6I have 4leaned on You since my birth; You are He who 5took me from my mother’s womb; My 6praise is continually 7of You.

7I have become a 8marvel to many, For You are 9my strong refuge.8My 10mouth is filled with Your praise And with 11Your glory all day long.9Do not cast me away at the 12time of my old age; Do not abandon me when my strength fails.10For my enemies have spoken 13against me; And those who 14watch for my 15life 16have consulted together,11Saying, “17God has abandoned him; Pursue and seize him, for there is 18no one to save him.”

12God, 19do not be far from me; My God, 20hurry to my aid!13May those who are enemies of my soul be 21put to shame and consumed; May they be 22covered with disgrace and dishonor, who 23seek 24to injure me.14But as for me, I will 25wait continually, And will 26 27praise You yet more and more.15My 28mouth shall tell of Your righteousness And of 29Your salvation all day long; For I 30do not know the art of writing.16I will come 31with the mighty deeds of the Lord 32God; I will 33make mention of Your righteousness, Yours alone.

17God, You 34have taught me from my youth, And I still 35declare Your wondrous deeds.18And even when I am 36old and gray, God, do not abandon me, Until I 37declare Your 38strength to this generation, Your power to all who are to come.
