5 For you are my hope, Lord GOD;my confidence from my youth.
6 I have relied on you from the womb.You are he who took me out of my mother’s womb.I will always praise you.
7 I am a marvel to many,but you are my strong refuge.
8 My mouth shall be filled with your praise,with your honour all day long.
9 Don’t reject me in my old age.Don’t forsake me when my strength fails.
10 For my enemies talk about me.Those who watch for my soul conspire together,
11 saying, “God has forsaken him.Pursue and take him, for no one will rescue him.”
