Psalms 71:12-18

¹²O God, be not far from me; O my God, make haste to help me.

¹³Let them be put to shame and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor that seek my hurt.

¹⁴But I will hope continually, And will praise thee yet more and more.

¹⁵My mouth shall tell of thy righteousness, And of thy salvation all the day; For I know not the numbers thereof.

¹⁶I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord Jehovah: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.

¹⁷O God, thou hast taught me from my youth; And hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.

¹⁸Yea, even when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not, Until I have declared thy strength unto the next generation, Thy might to every one that is to come.
