New Testament

Psalms 71:8-17 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

8. I am always singing about the wonderful things you do.

9. Don’t throw me away just because I am old. Don’t leave me as I lose my strength.

10. My enemies make plans against me. They have met together and are making plans to kill me.

11. They say, “Go get him! God has left him, so there is no one to help him.”

12. God, don’t leave me! My God, hurry and help me!

13. Defeat my enemies. Destroy them completely! They are trying to hurt me. Let them suffer shame and disgrace.

14. Then I will always trust in you and praise you more and more.

15. I will tell people how good you are. I will tell about all the times you saved me— too many times to count.

16. I will tell about your greatness, my Lord GOD. I will talk only about you and your goodness.

17. God, you have taught me since I was a young boy. And to this day I have told people about the wonderful things you do.
