5 You are my hope, Lord;my trust, God, from my youth.
6 On you I have depended since birth;from my mother’s womb you are my strength;my hope in you never wavers.
7 I have become a portent to many,but you are my strong refuge!
8 My mouth shall be filled with your praise,shall sing your glory every day.
9 Do not cast me aside in my old age;as my strength fails, do not forsake me.
10 For my enemies speak against me;they watch and plot against me.
11 They say, “God has abandoned him.Pursue, and seize him!No one will come to the rescue!”
