Tehillim Tools: Psalm 71:9: New



“Do not cast me off in time of old age, when my strength fails do not forsake me.” I use this verse to pray that nothing I do ever seems old, not new and an exciting. This is based on the Chassidic teaching that this verse refers to those who are overcome with a sense of heaviness and burden. This is used as a prayer that we should never approach our service of God with the sense of anything being old, but always with us an appreciation of new opportunities and being exciting. (Or Hameir; Yitro, in the name of the Baal Shem Tov)
