Do not cast(A) me away when I am old;(B)
    do not forsake(C) me when my strength is gone.
10 For my enemies(D) speak against me;
    those who wait to kill(E) me conspire(F) together.
11 They say, “God has forsaken(G) him;
    pursue him and seize him,
    for no one will rescue(H) him.”
12 Do not be far(I) from me, my God;
    come quickly, God, to help(J) me.
13 May my accusers(K) perish in shame;(L)
    may those who want to harm me
    be covered with scorn and disgrace.(M)

14 As for me, I will always have hope;(N)
    I will praise you more and more.

15 My mouth will tell(O) of your righteous deeds,(P)
    of your saving acts all day long—

16 I will come and proclaim your mighty acts,(Q) Sovereign Lord;
    I will proclaim your righteous deeds, yours alone.

    do not forsake me, my God,
till I declare your power(U) to the next generation,
    your mighty acts to all who are to come.(V)
