9Do not discard me in my old age;
do not forsake me when my strength fails.
10For my enemies speak against me,
and those who lie in wait for my life conspire,
11saying, “God has forsaken him;
pursue him and seize him,
for there is no one to rescue him.”
12Be not far from me, O God.
Hurry, O my God, to help me.
13May the accusers of my soul
be ashamed and consumed;
may those who seek my harm
be covered with scorn and disgrace.
— Psalm 71:9-13
