Psalm 71:8-14 English Standard Version (ESV)

8. My mouth is filled with your praise,and with your glory all the day.

9. Do not cast me off in the time of old age;forsake me not when my strength is spent.

10. For my enemies speak concerning me;those who watch for my life consult together

11. and say, “God has forsaken him;pursue and seize him,for there is none to deliver him.”

12. O God, be not far from me;O my God, make haste to help me!

13. May my accusers be put to shame and consumed; with scorn and disgrace may they be coveredwho seek my hurt.

14. But I will hope continuallyand will praise you yet more and more.
