12 God, (A)do not be far from me;
My God, (B)hurry to my aid!
13 May those who are enemies of my soul be (C)put to shame and consumed;
May they be (D)covered with disgrace and dishonor, who (E)seek [a]to injure me.
14 But as for me, I will (F)wait continually,
And will [b](G)praise You yet more and more.
15 My (H)mouth shall tell of Your righteousness
And of (I)Your salvation all day long;
For I (J)do not know the art of writing.
16 I will come (K)with the mighty deeds of the Lord [c]God;
I will (L)make mention of Your righteousness, Yours alone.
