5. For You are my hope, O Lord God;You are my trust from my youth.
6. By You I have been upheld from birth;You are He who took me out of my mother’s womb.My praise shall be continually of You.
7. I have become as a wonder to many,But You are my strong refuge.
8. Let my mouth be filled with Your praiseAnd with Your glory all the day.
9. Do not cast me off in the time of old age;Do not forsake me when my strength fails.
10. For my enemies speak against me;And those who lie in wait for my life take counsel together,
11. Saying, “God has forsaken him;Pursue and take him, for there is none to deliver him.”
12. O God, do not be far from me;O my God, make haste to help me!
13. Let them be confounded and consumedWho are adversaries of my life;Let them be covered with reproach and dishonorWho seek my hurt.
14. But I will hope continually,And will praise You yet more and more.
15. My mouth shall tell of Your righteousnessAnd Your salvation all the day,For I do not know their limits.
16. I will go in the strength of the Lord God;I will make mention of Your righteousness, of Yours only.
17. O God, You have taught me from my youth;And to this day I declare Your wondrous works.
18. Now also when I am old and grayheaded,O God, do not forsake me,Until I declare Your strength to this generation,Your power to everyone who is to come.
