And now, in my old age, don’t set me aside. Don’t abandon me when my strength is failing.

我年老的时候，求你不要丢弃我！我力气衰弱的时候，求你不要离弃我！

我年老的时候，求你不要丢弃我！我体力衰弱时，求你不要离弃我！

我年老的时候，求你不要丢弃我！我体力衰弱时，求你不要离弃我！

我年老时，求你不要丢弃我；我体力衰微时，求你不要离弃我。

我年老的时候，求你不要丢弃我；我气力衰弱的时候，求你不要离弃我。

我年老时，求你不要丢弃我，我力量衰竭时，求你不要离弃我；

我年老的時候，求你不要丟棄我！我力氣衰弱的時候，求你不要離棄我！

我年老的時候，求你不要丟棄我！我體力衰弱時，求你不要離棄我！

我年老的時候，求你不要丟棄我！我體力衰弱時，求你不要離棄我！

我年老時，求你不要丟棄我；我體力衰微時，求你不要離棄我。

我年老的時候，求你不要丟棄我；我氣力衰弱的時候，求你不要離棄我。

求你不要在我年老時丟掉我；不要在我力氣消盡時將我撇下。

我年老時，求你不要丟棄我，我力量衰竭時，求你不要離棄我；

我年老時勿我棄、我力衰時勿我離兮、

予今老矣、尚其毋我遐棄、筋力已衰、願勿棄予之如遺兮、

我年至老邁、求主莫遐棄我、我力已衰弱、求主莫遠離我、

垂老莫見絕。衰邁莫見棄。

Do not cast me away when I am old; do not forsake me when my strength is gone.

Don’t push me away when I’m old. Don’t desert me when my strength is gone.

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

Don’t discard me in my old age. As my strength fails, do not abandon me.

Do not cast me away at the time of my old age; Do not abandon me when my strength fails.

Do not cast me off in the time of old age; Do not forsake me when my strength fails.

Cast me not off in the time of old age; Forsake me not when my strength faileth.

Don’t discard me in my old age; as my strength fails, do not abandon me.

Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.

Do not reject me in my old age! When my strength fails, do not abandon me!

Don’t reject me in my old age. Don’t forsake me when my strength fails.

That is why I am suffering here in prison. But I am not ashamed of it, for I know the one in whom I trust, and I am sure that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until the day of his return.

I will be your God throughout your lifetime— until your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will care for you. I will carry you along and save you.

Now that I am old and gray, do not abandon me, O God. Let me proclaim your power to this new generation, your mighty miracles to all who come after me.

Yes, and the Lord will deliver me from every evil attack and will bring me safely into his heavenly Kingdom. All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Seventy years are given to us! Some even live to eighty. But even the best years are filled with pain and trouble; soon they disappear, and we fly away.

For they are transplanted to the Lord’s own house. They flourish in the courts of our God.Even in old age they will still produce fruit; they will remain vital and green.They will declare,“ The Lord is just! He is my rock! There is no evil in him!”

Don’t let the excitement of youth cause you to forget your Creator. Honor him in your youth before you grow old and say,“ Life is not pleasant anymore.”Remember him before the light of the sun, moon, and stars is dim to your old eyes, and rain clouds continually darken your sky.Remember him before your legs— the guards of your house— start to tremble; and before your shoulders— the strong men— stoop. Remember him before your teeth— your few remaining servants— stop grinding; and before your eyes— the women looking through the windows— see dimly.Remember him before the door to life’s opportunities is closed and the sound of work fades. Now you rise at the first chirping of the birds, but then all their sounds will grow faint.Remember him before you become fearful of falling and worry about danger in the streets; before your hair turns white like an almond tree in bloom, and you drag along without energy like a dying grasshopper, and the caperberry no longer inspires sexual desire. Remember him before you near the grave, your everlasting home, when the mourners will weep at your funeral.Yes, remember your Creator now while you are young, before the silver cord of life snaps and the golden bowl is broken. Don’t wait until the water jar is smashed at the spring and the pulley is broken at the well.For then the dust will return to the earth, and the spirit will return to God who gave it.

I am eighty years old today, and I can no longer enjoy anything. Food and wine are no longer tasty, and I cannot hear the singers as they sing. I would only be a burden to my lord the king.

My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; he is mine forever.

Once again the Philistines were at war with Israel. And when David and his men were in the thick of battle, David became weak and exhausted.Ishbi benob was a descendant of the giants; his bronze spearhead weighed more than seven pounds, and he was armed with a new sword. He had cornered David and was about to kill him.But Abishai son of Zeruiah came to David’s rescue and killed the Philistine. Then David’s men declared,“ You are not going out to battle with us again! Why risk snuffing out the light of Israel?”
