And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.
Even when you grow old and your hair turns gray, I am still the same God. I will carry you and support you. I created you, and I will take care of you. I will carry you and rescue you.
God is promising that He will never abandon His people, but will carry and care for them throughout their entire lives, even into old age.
