Salmos 71:9

9 Y ahora, en mi vejez, no me hagas a un lado;
no me abandones cuando me faltan las fuerzas.

Salmos 71:9 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 71:9

Cast me not off in the time of old age
The Lord never casts off nor casts away his people, whom he foreknew; they are near unto him; they are on his heart, and are engraven on the palms of his hands; and they shall never be removed from his heart's love, nor out of his arms, nor out of his covenant, and shall always be the objects of his care: he bears and carries them to old age, and even to hoary hairs: the Lord had been the guide of David's youth, and his trust then, ( Psalms 71:5 ) ; and now he desires he would be the staff of his old age; at which age he was when Absalom rebelled against him;

forsake me not when my strength faileth:
as it does when old age comes on; then the keepers of the house tremble, and the strong men bow themselves, and especially at death, when flesh and heart fail; but God will never forsake his people, neither in youth nor in old age, neither in life nor at death.

Salmos 71:9 In-Context

7 Mi vida es un ejemplo para muchos,
porque tú has sido mi fuerza y protección.

8 Por eso nunca puedo dejar de alabarte;
todo el día declaro tu gloria.

9 Y ahora, en mi vejez, no me hagas a un lado;
no me abandones cuando me faltan las fuerzas.

10 Pues mis enemigos murmuran contra mí
y juntos confabulan matarme.

11 Dicen: «Dios lo ha abandonado.
Vayamos y agarrémoslo,
porque ahora nadie lo ayudará».
