The verbal phrase of the previous line (וַתָּ֣רֶם) has been understood as elided by the LXX (καὶ τὸ γῆράς μου ἐν ἐλαίῳ πίονι) and both of Jerome's translations (Gall.: et senectus mea in misericordia uberi; Iuxta Heb.: et senecta mea in oleo uberi), with "my old age" as the object. The difficulties here are semantic, however, as "raising up = bestowing strength" is always accompanied by קֶרֶן.
