The Crisis of Old Age and Enemy Mockery

Psalms 71:9-13

Cast me not off in the time of old age; Forsake me not when my strength faileth.

For mine enemies speak concerning me; And they that watch for my soul take counsel together,

Saying, God hath forsaken him: Pursue and take him; for there is none to deliver.

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

Let them be put to shameandconsumed that are adversaries to my soul; Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor that seek my hurt.
