4. My God, rescue me from the power of the wicked,from the hand of the cruel oppressor!
5. For you give me confidence, O Lord;O Lord, I have trusted in you since I was young.
6. I have leaned on you since birth;you pulled me from my mother’s womb.I praise you continually.
7. Many are appalled when they see me,but you are my secure shelter.
8. I praise you constantlyand speak of your splendor all day long.
9. Do not reject me in my old age!When my strength fails, do not abandon me!
10. For my enemies talk about me;those waiting for a chance to kill me plot my demise.
11. They say, “God has abandoned him.Run and seize him, for there is no one who will rescue him!”
12. O God, do not remain far away from me!My God, hurry and help me!
13. May my accusers be humiliated and defeated!May those who want to harm me be covered with scorn and disgrace!
14. As for me, I will wait continually,and will continue to praise you.
