12 God, don’t be far from me.My God, hurry to help me.
13 Let my accusers be disappointed and consumed.Let them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to harm me.
14 But I will always hope,and will add to all of your praise.
15 My mouth will tell about your righteousness,and of your salvation all day,though I don’t know its full measure.
16 I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord GOD.I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours alone.
17 God, you have taught me from my youth.Until now, I have declared your wondrous works.
18 Yes, even when I am old and grey-haired, God, don’t forsake me,until I have declared your strength to the next generation,your might to everyone who is to come.
