⁹ Don’t discard me in my old age.
As my strength fails, do not abandon me.^(J)
10 For my enemies talk about me,
and those who spy on me plot together,^(K)
11 saying, “God has abandoned him;
chase him and catch him,
for there is no one to rescue him.”^(L)
12 God, do not be far from me;
my God, hurry to help me.^(M)
13 May my adversaries be disgraced and destroyed;
may those who intend to harm me
be covered with disgrace and humiliation.^(N)
14 But I will hope continually
and will praise you more and more.^(O)
15 My mouth will tell about your righteousness
and your salvation all day long,
though I cannot sum them up.^(P)
16 I come because of the mighty acts of the Lord God;
I will proclaim your righteousness, yours alone.^(Q)

¹⁷ God, you have taught me from my youth,
and I still proclaim your wondrous works.^(R)
18 Even while I am old and gray,
God, do not abandon me,^(S)
while I proclaim your power
to another generation,
your strength to all who are to come.^(T)
19 Your righteousness reaches the heights, God,
you who have done great things;
God, who is like you?^(U)
20 You caused me to experience
many troubles and misfortunes,^(V)
but you will revive me again.^(W)
You will bring me up again,
even from the depths of the earth.^(X)
21 You will increase my honor
and comfort me once again.^(Y)
22 Therefore, I will praise you with a harp
for your faithfulness, my God;
I will sing to you with a lyre,
Holy One of Israel.^(Z)
23 My lips will shout for joy
when I sing praise to you
because you have redeemed me.^(AA)
24 Therefore, my tongue will proclaim
your righteousness all day long,
for those who intend to harm me
will be disgraced and confounded.^(AB)
