Psalms 71:9-19 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

9. Do not cast me aside in my old age;as my strength fails, do not forsake me.

10. For my enemies speak against me;they watch and plot against me.

11. They say, “God has abandoned him.Pursue, and seize him!No one will come to the rescue!”

12. God, be not far from me;my God, hasten to help me.

13. Bring to a shameful endthose who attack me;Cover with contempt and scornthose who seek my ruin.

14. I will always hope in youand add to all your praise.

15. My mouth shall proclaim your just deeds,day after day your acts of deliverance,though I cannot number them all.

16. I will speak of the mighty works of the Lord;O God, I will tell of your singular justice.

17. God, you have taught me from my youth;to this day I proclaim your wondrous deeds.

18. Now that I am old and gray,do not forsake me, God,That I may proclaim your mightto all generations yet to come,Your power

19. and justice, God,to the highest heaven.You have done great things;O God, who is your equal?
