Psalms 71

The psalmist, an aging individual possibly David, pleads with **YHWH** to be his refuge and rock against conspiring enemies who claim God has forsaken him, begging not to be abandoned in old age when his strength fails.[1][2][3] He trusts in YHWH's righteousness to deliver him from troubles, vows continual praise with harp and lyre to the Holy One of Israel, and anticipates restoration and vindication.[1][3][4]
