7. I have become a sign to many;you are my strong refuge.
8. My mouth is filled with your praise,declaring your splendour all day long.
9. Do not cast me away when I am old;do not forsake me when my strength is gone.
10. For my enemies speak against me;those who wait to kill me conspire together.
11. They say, ‘God has forsaken him;pursue him and seize him,for no one will rescue him.’
12. Do not be far from me, my God;come quickly, God, to help me.
13. May my accusers perish in shame;may those who want to harm mebe covered with scorn and disgrace.
14. As for me, I shall always have hope;I will praise you more and more.
15. My mouth will tell of your righteous deeds,of your saving acts all day long –though I know not how to relate them all.
16. I will come and proclaim your mighty acts, Sovereign Lord;I will proclaim your righteous deeds, yours alone.
17. Since my youth, God, you have taught me,and to this day I declare your marvellous deeds.
18. Even when I am old and grey,do not forsake me, my God,till I declare your power to the next generation,your mighty acts to all who are to come.
