6 I’ve depended on you from birth—you cut the cord when I came from my mother’s womb.My praise is always about you.
7 I’ve become an example to many peoplebecause you are my strong refuge.
8 My mouth is filled with your praise,glorifying you all day long.
9 Don’t cast me off in old age.Don’t abandon me when my strength is used up!
10 Yes, my enemies have been talking about me;those who stalk me plot together:
11 "God has abandoned him!Pursue him!Grab him because no one will deliver him!"
12 Don’t be far from me, God!My God, hurry to help me!
