New Testament

Psalms 71:8-15 New English Translation (NET)

8. I praise you constantlyand speak of your splendor all day long.

9. Do not reject me in my old age!When my strength fails, do not abandon me!

10. For my enemies talk about me;those waiting for a chance to kill me plot my demise.

11. They say, “God has abandoned him.Run and seize him, for there is no one who will rescue him!”

12. O God, do not remain far away from me!My God, hurry and help me!

13. May my accusers be humiliated and defeated!May those who want to harm me be covered with scorn and disgrace!

14. As for me, I will wait continually,and will continue to praise you.

15. I will tell about your justice,and all day long proclaim your salvation,though I cannot fathom its full extent.
