5. because you are my hope, O Lord Yahweh, my confidence from my youth.
6. Upon you I have leaned from birth. It was you who took me from the womb of my mother. My praise is of you continually.
7. I have become a wonder to many, but you are my strong refuge.
8. My mouth is filled with your praise, with your glory all the day.
9. Do not cast me away in the time of old age; when my strength fails do not abandon me.
10. For my enemies talk concerning me, and those who watch for my life conspire together,
11. saying, “His God has abandoned him. Pursue and seize him, because there is no deliverer.”
12. O God, do not be far from me. My God, hurry to help me.
13. Let them be ashamed; let them perish who are my adversaries. Let them wrap themselves with scorn and disgrace who seek my harm.
