7 I have been like a portent to many, but you are my strong refuge.

8 My mouth is filled with your praise, and with your glory all day long.

9 Do not cast me off in the time of old age; do not forsake me when my strength is spent.

10 For my enemies speak concerning me, and those who watch for my life consult together.

11 They say, "Pursue and seize that person whom God has forsaken, for there is no one to deliver."

Psalms 71:7-11
