12. God, don’t be far off.My God, hurry to help me.
13. Let those who accuse mebe ashamed and destroyed.Let those who are trying to hurt mebe covered with shame and disgrace.
14. But I will always have hopeand will praise you more and more.
15. I will tell how you do what is right.I will tell about your salvation all day long,even though it is more than I can tell.
16. I will come and tell about your powerful works, Lord God.I will remind people that only you do what is right.
17. God, you have taught me since I was young.To this day I tell about the miracles you do.
18. Even though I am old and gray,do not leave me, God.I will tell the children about your power;I will tell those who live after me about your might.
19. God, your justice reaches to the skies.You have done great things;God, there is no one like you.
20. You have given me many troubles and bad times,but you will give me life again.When I am almost dead,you will keep me alive.
21. You will make me greater than ever,and you will comfort me again.
22. I will praise you with the harp.I trust you, my God.I will sing to you with the lyre,Holy One of Israel.
23. I will shout for joy when I sing praises to you.You have saved me.
24. I will tell about your justice all day long.And those who want to hurt mewill be ashamed and disgraced.
