Psalm 71 is a reflective poem about God's help and blessing throughout life from birth to old age. The unnamed psalmist asks God to always be his refuge and deliver him from the wicked. He says God was with him at birth and had been his confidence since his youth. So he asks God not to cast him away when he is old. "May those who want to harm me be covered with scorn and disgrace... I will always tell of your righteousness... since my youth I declare God's mighty deeds... so don't abandon me when I'm old and grey... your righteousness reached to the skies O God... I will praise you with the harp... my lips will shout for joy!
