Psalms 71:9 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 71:9
The plea 'Cast me not off in the time of old age' addresses the fear of abandonment when strength fails. 'Forsake me not when my strength faileth' acknowledges aging's vulnerability. This prayer rests on God's covenant faithfulness—He who began the work will complete it (Philippians 1:6). The aged believer's confidence isn't in sustained vigor but in God's unchanging commitment. Physical decline doesn't diminish divine faithfulness.
