Psalms 71:9

⁷ 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.

Do not discard me in my old age; do not forsake me when my strength fails.

¹⁰ For my enemies speak against me, and those who lie in wait for my life conspire,

¹¹ saying, “God has forsaken him; pursue him and seize him, for there is no one to rescue him.”

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
