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.
14. But as for me, I will hope continually and increase your praise.
15. My mouth will tell of your righteousness, your salvation all day long, though I do not know the full sum of them.
16. I will come in to tell the mighty deeds of Lord Yahweh. I will make known your righteousness, yours only.
17. O God, you have taught me from my youth, and up to now I have proclaimed your wonderful deeds.
