Psalms 71:12-18

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

¹³Put my foes to shame and dishonour, with insult and shame be they covered.

¹⁴But I will never stop hoping, and more and yet more will I praise you.

¹⁵All the day long shall my mouth tell your faithfulness and your salvation, though I know not how they may be counted.

¹⁶I will tell of the might of the Lord, and your faithfulness praise, you alone.

¹⁷You have taught me, O God, from my youth, and till now have I told of your wonders.

¹⁸Even in old age and grey hair, O God, do not forsake me. Still would I tell of your might unto all generations to come.
