Behold, thou hast made my days a span long, and mine age is even as nothing in respect of thee; and verily every man living is altogether vanity. Selah

Cast me not away in mine old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth me.

Forsake me not, O God, in mine old age, when I am grey-headed, until I have showed thy strength unto children's children, and thy power to all them that are yet for to come.

The days of our age are threescore years and ten: and though men be so strong that they come to fourscore years, yet is their strength then but labour and sorrow; so soon passeth it away, and we are gone.

They shall also bring forth more fruit in their age, and shall be fat and well liking,

Yet will I say, "O my God, take me not away in the midst of my age; as for thy years, they endure throughout all generations."
