6. From my birth I have leaned on You. You took me out of my mother’s womb. My praise is always about You.
7. I am like an ominous sign to many, but You are my strong refuge.
8. My mouth is filled with Your praise and with Your glory all day.
9. Do not cast me away in the time of old age. When my strength fails, do not forsake me.
10. For my enemies speak against me. Those who watch for my soul conspire together,
11. saying: “God has forsaken him— Pursue and take him, for no one will deliver.”
12. O God, be not far from me! My God, come quickly to help me.
13. Let the accusers of my soul be disgraced and destroyed. Let those who seek to harm me be covered with scorn and confusion.
14. But I—I will hope continually and will praise You more and more.
15. My mouth will recount Your justice and Your salvation all day, though I do not know the sum of them.
16. I come because of the mighty deeds of Adonai my Lord. I will remember Your righteousness —Yours alone.
17. God, You taught me from my youth, and I still keep declaring Your wonders.
