Psalm 71. The Prayer of an Elderly Person.

Psalms_71-1: In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion

Lord, I have come to you for protection;
never let me be defeated!

2 Because you are righteous, help me and rescue me.
Listen to me and save me!

3 Be my secure shelter
and a strong fortress to protect me;
you are my refuge and defense.

4 My God, rescue me from wicked people,
from the power of cruel and evil people.

5 Sovereign Lord, I put my hope in you;
I have trusted in you since I was young.

6 I have relied on you all my life;
you have protected me since the day I was born.
I will always praise you.

7 My life has been an example to many,
because you have been my strong defender.

8 All day…
