Context of Psalms 71:8

6I have leaned on you since birth; you pulled me from my mother’s womb. I praise you continually. 7Many are appalled when they see me, but you are my secure shelter. I praise you constantly and speak of your splendor all day long. 9Do not reject me in my old age! When my strength fails, do not abandon me! 10For my enemies talk about me; those waiting for a chance to kill me plot my demise.

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
