A prayer not to be rejected in old age

늙은 때에 버리지 말아 달라는 기도

Psalm 71:1–24: a prayer not to be rejected in old age and to be helped quickly, with the words “My mouth will tell about your righteousness, and of your salvation all day”. The speaker (“I”) says, “In you, LORD, I take refuge. Never let me be disappointed. Deliver me in your righteousness, and rescue me. Turn your ear to me, and save me. Be to me a rock of refuge to which I may always go. Give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress. Rescue me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. For you are my hope, Lord GOD, my confidence from my youth. I have relied on you from the womb. You are he who took me out of my mother’s womb. I will always praise you. I am a marvel to many, but you are my strong refuge. My mouth shall be filled with your praise, with your honor all day long. Don’t reject me in my old age. Don’t forsake me when my strength fails. For my enemies talk about me. Those who watch for my soul conspire together, saying, ‘God has forsaken him. Pursue and take him, for no one will rescue him.’ God, don’t be far from me. My God, hurry to help me. Let my accusers be disappointed and consumed. Let them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to harm me. But I will always hope, and will add to all of your praise. My mouth will tell about your righteousness, and of your salvation all day, though I don’t know its full measure. I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord GOD. I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours alone. God, you have taught me from my youth. Until now, I have declared your wondrous works. Yes, even when I am old and gray-haired, God, don’t forsake me, until I have declared your strength to the next generation, your might to everyone who is to come. God, your righteousness also reaches to the heavens. You have done great things. God, who is like you? You, who have shown us many and bitter troubles, you will let me live. You will bring us up again from the depths of the earth. Increase my honor and comfort me again. I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, my God. I sing praises to you with the lyre, Holy One of Israel. My lips shall shout for joy! My soul, which you have redeemed, sings praises to you! My tongue will also talk about your righteousness all day long, for they are disappointed, and they are confounded, who want to harm me.” At 71:20 the speaker also says “us”. The Korean Revised Version reads at 71:3 주께서 나를 구원하라 명하셨으니, saying the command was given, where WEB reads “Give the command to save me”; sets no quotation marks around the words of 71:11 (이르기를 하나님이 저를 버리셨은즉 따라 잡으라 건질 자가 없다 하오니); and at 71:20 reads 우리를 다시 살리시며, with 우리를 (us), where WEB reads “you will let me live”.

    24My tongue will also talk about your righteousness all day long, for they are disappointed, and they are confounded, who want to harm me.
