6. I have leaned on You from birth;You took me from my mother’s womb. My praise is always about You.
7. I have become an ominous sign to many,but You are my strong refuge.
8. My mouth is full of praiseand honor to You all day long.
9. Don’t discard me in my old age;as my strength fails, do not abandon me.
10. For my enemies talk about me,and those who spy on me plot together,
11. saying, “God has abandoned him;chase him and catch him,for there is no one to rescue him.”
12. God, do not be far from me;my God, hurry to help me.
13. May my adversaries be disgraced and destroyed;may those who seek my harmbe covered with disgrace and humiliation.
14. But I will hope continuallyand will praise You more and more.
15. My mouth will tell about Your righteousnessand Your salvation all day long,though I cannot sum them up.
16. I come because of the mighty acts of the Lord God;I will proclaim Your righteousness, Yours alone.
17. God, You have taught me from my youth,and I still proclaim Your wonderful works.
18. Even when I am old and gray,God, do not abandon me. Then I will proclaim Your powerto another generation,Your strength to all who are to come.
19. Your righteousness reaches heaven, God,You who have done great things;God, who is like You?
20. You caused me to experiencemany troubles and misfortunes, but You will revive me again. You will bring me up again,even from the depths of the earth.
21. You will increase my honorand comfort me once again.
