5 For You are my hope, O Lord YHWH, my trust from my youth. 6 By You I have been supported from the womb; from the bowels of my mother You cut me out. My praise is continually for You. 7 I have been as a wonder to many, and You are my strong refuge. 8 My mouth is filled with Your praise, with Your splendor all the day. 9 Do not cast me off in the time of old age; according to the consumption of my strength do not forsake me. 10 For my enemies speak against me, and those watching my soul take counsel together, 11 saying, “God has forsaken him. Pursue him and seize him, for there is none to deliver him!” 12 O God, do not be far from me; O my God, hurry to be my help! 13 Let them be put to shame and consumed, those opposing my soul; let them be covered with scorn and disgrace, those seeking my harm! 14 But I continually will hope, and I will add upon all Your praise. 15 My mouth will recount Your righteousness, all the day Your salvation, though I do not know the numbers. 16 I will come in the might of the Lord YHWH; I will cause Your righteousness to be remembered—Yours alone. 17 O God, You have taught me from my youth, and until now I declare Your wonders. 18 Indeed, when I am old and grayheaded, O God, do not forsake me, until I declare Your arm to a generation, Your strength to everyone to come. 19 And Your righteousness, O God, is to the height! You who have done great things, O God—who is like You? 20 Though You have made me see many troubles and distresses, You will return and revive us; even from the depths of the earth, You will return and bring me up. 21 You will increase my honor, and surrounding me, You will comfort me. 22 I will also praise You with the harp for Your faithfulness, O my God; I will make music to You with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel! 23 My lips will shout for joy when when I sing praises to You, even my soul, which You have redeemed. 24 My tongue will also utter Your righteousness all the day, for they have been put to shame, for they are humiliated—those seeking my harm.
