Psalms 71:7
5 For You are my hope, O Lord GOD, my confidence from my youth.
6 I have leaned on You since birth; You pulled me from my mother’s womb. My praise is always for You.
I have become a portent to many, but You are my strong refuge.
8 My mouth is filled with Your praise and with Your splendor all day long.
9 Do not discard me in my old age; do not forsake me when my strength fails.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
