Psalm 71


Prayer for the Aged
(paraphrased)

You are my Trust from my youth,
You have upheld me from birth;
You took me out of my mother's womb.
My praise shall be of You.

Do not cast me off in the time of old age;
Do not forsake me when my strength fails.
Do not be far from me;
O my God, help me!

O God, You have taught me from my youth;
I declare Your wonderous works.
Now when I am old and gray headed,
O God, do not forsake me until I declare You
to this generation.

Oh God, who is like You? 
You who have shown me severe troubles,
Shall revive me again.
You shall comfort me on every side.

I will praise You-
And Your faithfulness!
To You I will sing, O Holy One of Israel.
My lips rejoice when I sing to You.
And my soul which You have redeemed
 
   Amen
