Salmos 71:9

9 No me rechaces cuando llegue a viejo;no me abandones cuando me falten 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 Para muchos, soy motivo de asombro,pero tú eres mi refugio inconmovible.

8 Mi boca rebosa de alabanzas a tu nombre,y todo el día proclama tu grandeza.

9 No me rechaces cuando llegue a viejo;no me abandones cuando me falten las fuerzas.

10 Porque mis enemigos murmuran contra mí;los que me acechan se confabulan.

11 Y dicen: «¡Dios lo ha abandonado!¡Persíganlo y agárrenlo, que nadie lo rescatará!»
