“In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.”
This opening plea that the psalmist not be put to shame in old age establishes the psalm as a prayer of an aging person facing difficulty. The reference to seeking refuge in God throughout life indicates long devotion and reliance. The emphasis on not being abandoned in old age articulates the particular vulnerability of the elderly. This verse establishes the context: an aged person whose lifetime of trust is now being tested.
