New International Reader's Version

Psalm 71:7-15 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

7. To many people I am an example of how much you care. You are strong. You are my place of safety.

8. My mouth is filled with praise for you. All day long I will talk about your glory.

9. Don't push me away when I'm old. Don't desert me when my strength is gone.

10. My enemies speak against me. Those who want to kill me get together and make evil plans.

11. They say, "God has deserted him. Go after him and grab him. No one will save him."

12. God, don't stay so far away from me. My God, come quickly and help me.

13. May those who bring charges against me die in shame. May those who want to harm me be covered with shame and dishonor.

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

15. I will say that what you have done is right. All day long I will talk about how you have saved your people. It is more than I can understand.
