The Crisis of Old Age and Enemy Mockery

Psalms 71:9-13

Don’t reject me in my old age. Don’t forsake me when my strength fails.

For my enemies talk about me. Those who watch for my soul conspire together,

saying, “God has forsaken him. Pursue and take him, for no one will rescue him.”

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

Let my accusers be disappointed and consumed. Let them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to harm me.
