5. For you have been my hope, Sovereign Lord, my confidence since my youth.
6. From birth I have relied on you; you brought me forth from my mother’s womb. I will ever praise you.
7. I have become a sign to many; you are my strong refuge.
8. My mouth is filled with your praise, declaring your splendor all day long.
9. Do not cast me away when I am old; do not forsake me when my strength is gone.
10. For my enemies speak against me; those who wait to kill me conspire together.
