7 I have become a portent to many, ♦︎
but you are my refuge and my strength.
8 Let my mouth be full of your praise ♦︎
and your glory all the day long.
9 Do not cast me away in the time of old age; ♦︎
forsake me not when my strength fails.
10 For my enemies are talking against me, ♦︎
and those who lie in wait for my life take counsel together.
11 They say, God has forsaken him;
pursue him and take him, ♦︎
because there is none to deliver him.
12 O God, be not far from me; ♦︎
come quickly to help me, O my God.
13 Let those who are against me
be put to shame and disgrace; ♦︎
let those who seek to do me evil
be covered with scorn and reproach.
14 But as for me I will hope continually ♦︎
and will praise you more and more.
15 My mouth shall tell of your righteousness
and salvation all the day long, ♦︎
for I know no end of the telling.
16 I will begin with the mighty works of the Lord God; ♦︎
I will recall your righteousness, yours alone.
