Psalm 37:25
I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
Psalm 71:9
Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.
Psalm 92:13-14
Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.
They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;

Psalm 92, verses 12 through 15 (The Amplified Bible)
12The [uncompromisingly] righteous shall flourish like the palm tree [be long-lived, stately, upright, useful, and fruitful]; they shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon [majestic, stable, durable, and incorruptible].
13Planted in the house of the Lord, they shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14[Growing in grace] they shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be full of sap [of spiritual vitality] and [rich in the] verdure [of trust, love, and contentment].
15[They are living memorials] to show that the Lord is upright and faithful to His promises; He is my Rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
These verses tell us that those who are righteous, love God, and follow His Will, will live long fruitful lives in their old age, and will be living memorials to show that the Lord keeps His promises.
Gypsy:
Maybe some of us would like to hear what God has to say on the matter. (Or the Psalmist being moved by God, whichever you prefer)

what do you need the bible to tell you about getting elderly... are you not able to see what it means just by living life?

is "getting elderly" some sort of sexual preference?
