13. May those who bring charges against me die in shame. May those who want to harm me be covered with shame and dishonor.
14. But I will always have hope. I will praise you more and more.
15. I will say that what you have done is right. All day long I will talk about how you have saved your people. It is more than I can understand.
16. Lord and King, I will come and announce your mighty acts. I will announce that you alone do what is right.
17. God, ever since I was young you have taught me about what you have done. To this very day I tell about your wonderful acts.
18. God, don't leave me even when I'm old and have gray hair. Let me live to tell my children about your power. Let me tell all of them about your mighty acts.
19. God, your saving acts reach to the skies. You have done great things. God, who is like you?
20. You have sent many bitter troubles my way. But you will give me new life. Even if I'm almost in the grave, you will bring me back.
21. You will honor me more and more. You will comfort me once again.
22. My God, I will use the harp to praise you because you are always faithful. Holy One of Israel, I will use the lyre to sing praise to you.
23. My lips will shout with joy when I sing praise to you. You have saved me.
