Psalms 71:5-14 Good News Bible (GNB)

5. Sovereign Lord, I put my hope in you;I have trusted in you since I was young.

6. I have relied on you all my life;you have protected me since the day I was born.I will always praise you.

7. My life has been an example to many,because you have been my strong defender.

8. All day long I praise youand 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.”

12. Don't stay so far away, O God;my God, hurry to my aid!

13. May those who attack mebe defeated and destroyed.May those who try to hurt mebe shamed and disgraced.

14. I will always put my hope in you;I will praise you more and more.
