6. Upon you I have leaned from before my birth;you are he who took me from my mother’s womb.My praise is continually of you.
7. I have been as a portent to many,but you are my strong refuge.
8. My mouth is filled with your praise,and with your glory all the day.
9. Do not cast me off in the time of old age;forsake me not when my strength is spent.
10. For my enemies speak concerning me;those who watch for my life consult together
11. and say, “God has forsaken him;pursue and seize him,for there is none to deliver him.”
12. O God, be not far from me;O my God, make haste to help me!
13. May my accusers be put to shame and consumed; with scorn and disgrace may they be coveredwho seek my hurt.
14. But I will hope continuallyand will praise you yet more and more.
15. My mouth will tell of your righteous acts,of your deeds of salvation all the day,for their number is past my knowledge.
16. With the mighty deeds of the Lord God I will come;I will remind them of your righteousness, yours alone.
