“Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.”
The plea not to be cast off in old age or abandoned when strength fails articulates the particular fear of the elderly: that diminishing capacity will result in abandonment. The reference to waning strength indicates physical decline. The plea not to be cast off articulates fear of being discarded as no longer useful. This verse expresses the vulnerability of age and the fear of divine abandonment during decline.
