9. Don’t discard me in my old age;as my strength fails, do not abandon me.
10. For my enemies talk about me,and those who spy on me plot together,
11. saying, “God has abandoned him;chase him and catch him,for there is no one to rescue him.”
12. God, do not be far from me;my God, hurry to help me.
13. May my adversaries be disgraced and destroyed;may those who seek my harmbe covered with disgrace and humiliation.
14. But I will hope continuallyand will praise You more and more.
15. My mouth will tell about Your righteousnessand Your salvation all day long,though I cannot sum them up.
16. I come because of the mighty acts of the Lord God;I will proclaim Your righteousness, Yours alone.
17. God, You have taught me from my youth,and I still proclaim Your wonderful works.
18. Even when I am old and gray,God, do not abandon me. Then I will proclaim Your powerto another generation,Your strength to all who are to come.
