6 From my birth I have relied on you;you brought me forth from my mother’s womb.I will ever praise you.
7 I have become a sign to many;you are my strong refuge.
8 My mouth is filled with your praise,declaring your splendour all day long.
9 Do not cast me away when I am old;do not forsake me when my strength is gone.
10 For my enemies speak against me;those who wait to kill me conspire together.
11 They say, ‘God has forsaken him;pursue him and seize him,for no one will rescue him.’
12 Do not be far from me, my God;come quickly, God, to help me.
