Psalms 71:8-16 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

8. I am always praising you.All day long I honor you.

9. Do not reject me when I am old.Do not leave me when my strength is gone.

10. My enemies have made plans against me.They meet together to kill me.

11. They say, “God has left him.Go after him and take him.No one will save him.”

12. God, don’t be far off.My God, hurry to help me.

13. Let them be ashamed.Destroy those who accuse me.They are trying to hurt me.Cover them with shame and disgrace.

14. But I will always have hope.And I will praise you more and more.

15. I will tell about how you do what is right.I will tell about your salvation all day long,even though it is more than I can tell.

16. I will come and tell about your powerful works, Lord God.I will tell only about you and how you do what is right.
