Psalm 71:7-11

Good News Translation

⁷ My life has been an example to many,
    because you have been my strong defender.
⁸ All day long I praise you
    and proclaim your glory.
⁹ Do not reject me now that I am old;
    do not abandon me now that I am feeble.
¹⁰ My enemies want to kill me;
    they talk and plot against me.
¹¹ They say, “God has abandoned him;
    let's go after him and catch him;
    there is no one to rescue him.”
