New International Version

Psalm 71:7-15 New International Version (NIV)

7. I have become a sign to many; you are my strong refuge.

8. My mouth is filled with your praise, declaring your splendor all day long.

9. Do not cast me away when I am old; do not forsake me when my strength is gone.

10. For my enemies speak against me; those who wait to kill me conspire together.

11. They say, “God has forsaken him; pursue him and seize him, for no one will rescue him.”

12. Do not be far from me, my God; come quickly, God, to help me.

13. May my accusers perish in shame; may those who want to harm me be covered with scorn and disgrace.

14. As for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more.

15. My mouth will tell of your righteous deeds, of your saving acts all day long— though I know not how to relate them all.
