I find much encouragement from the psalmist who after proclaiming that God had taught him from his youth on, pleaded, ‘ Even until old age, O God, do not leave me, until I may tell about your mightiness to those to come. ’ ​ — Psalm 71: 17, 18.
وأنا استمدّ التشجيع من المرنم الملهم ،‏ الذي بعدما اعلن ان الله علَّمه منذ صِباه ،‏ توسَّل قائلا :‏ ‹ ايضا الى الشيخوخة يا الله لا تتركني حتى اخبر بقوتك كل آتٍ › .‏ —‏ مزمور ٧١ :‏ ​ ١٧ ،‏ ١٨‏ .‏
