12O God, do not be far from me;
         O my God, hasten to my help!

13Let those who are adversaries of my soul be ashamed and consumed;
         Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor, who seek to injure me.

14But as for me, I will hope continually,
         And will praise You yet more and more.

15My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness
         And of Your salvation all day long;
         For I do not know the sum of them.

16I will come with the mighty deeds of the Lord GOD;
         I will make mention of Your righteousness, Yours alone.

17O God, You have taught me from my youth,
         And I still declare Your wondrous deeds.

18And even when I am old and gray, O God, do not forsake me,
         Until I declare Your strength to this generation,
         Your power to all who are to come.

19For Your righteousness, O God, reaches to the heavens,
         You who have done great things;
         O God, who is like You?

20You who have shown me many troubles and distresses
         Will revive me again,
         And will bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

21May You increase my greatness
         And turn to comfort me.

22I will also praise You with a harp,
         Even Your truth, O my God;
         To You I will sing praises with the lyre,
         O Holy One of Israel.

23My lips will shout for joy when I sing praises to You;
         And my soul, which You have redeemed.

24My tongue also will utter Your righteousness all day long;
         For they are ashamed, for they are humiliated who seek my hurt.
