9 Do not reject me when I am oldor abandon me when I lose my strength.
10 My enemies talk about me.They watch me as they plot to take my life.
11 They say, “God has abandoned him.Pursue him and grab him because there is no one to rescue him.”
12 O God, do not be so distant from me.O my God, come quickly to help me.
13 Let those who accuse me come to a shameful end.Let those who want my downfall be coveredwith disgrace and humiliation.
14 But I will always have hope.I will praise you more and more.
15 My mouth will tell about your righteousness,about your salvation all day long.Even then, it is more than I can understand.
