Psalm 71:9-11
The Message
8-11 Just as each day brims with your beauty,
my mouth brims with praise.
But don’t turn me out to pasture when I’m old
or put me on the shelf when I can’t pull my weight.
My enemies are talking behind my back,
watching for their chance to knife me.
The gossip is: “God has abandoned him.
Pounce on him now; no one will help him.”
Psalm 71:9
Amplified Bible
9
Do not cast me off nor send me away in the time of old age;
Do not abandon me when my strength fails and I am weak.
Psalm 71:9
New Living Translation
9 And now, in my old age, don’t set me aside.
Don’t abandon me when my strength is failing.
Psalm 71:9
New King James Version
9 Do not cast me off in the time of old age;
Do not forsake me when my strength fails.
