7. My life is an example to many,because you have been my strength and protection.
8. That is why I can never stop praising you;I declare your glory all day long.
9. And now, in my old age, don’t set me aside.Don’t abandon me when my strength is failing.
10. For my enemies are whispering against me.They are plotting together to kill me.
11. They say, “God has abandoned him.Let’s go and get him,for no one will help him now.”
12. O God, don’t stay away.My God, please hurry to help me.
13. Bring disgrace and destruction on my accusers.Humiliate and shame those who want to harm me.
14. But I will keep on hoping for your help;I will praise you more and more.
15. I will tell everyone about your righteousness.All day long I will proclaim your saving power,though I am not skilled with words.
16. I will praise your mighty deeds, O Sovereign lord.I will tell everyone that you alone are just.
