12O God, be not far from me: O my God, hasten to my help.
13Let those be made ashamed, let them perish, that are adversaries to my soul: let those be covered with reproach and dishonor that seek my unhappiness.
14But I will continually hope, and will add yet more to all thy praise.
15My mouth shall relate thy righteousness, all the day thy salvation; for I know not their numbers.
16I will come to praise the mighty deeds of the Lord Eternal: I will make mention of thy righteousness, yea, thine only.
17O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto I ever tell of thy wondrous deeds.
18Therefore also even in old age, and when I am grayheaded, O God, forsake me not: until I have told of thy strength unto this generation, to every one that may come of thy might.
19And thy righteousness, O God, reacheth even to the height, thou, who hast done great things: O God, who is like thee!
20Thou, who hast shown me great distresses and misfortunes, wilt again revive me; and from the depths of the earth wilt thou bring me up again.
