5For thou art my hopeH8615, O LordH136 Jehovah:Thou artmy trustH4009 from my youthH5271.6By thee have I been holden up from the wombH990;Thou art he that took me out of my mother’sH517 bowelsH4578:My praiseH8416 shall be continuallyH8548 of thee.7I amH1961 as a wonderH4159 unto manyH7227;But thou art my strong refugeH4268.8My mouthH6310 shall be filledH4390 with thy praiseH8416,And with thy honorH8597 all the dayH3117.9CastH7993 me not off in the timeH6256 of oldH2209 ageH2209;ForsakeH5800 me not when my strengthH3581 faileth.10For mine enemiesH341 speak concerning me;And they that watchH8104 for my soulH5315 takeH8104 counselH3289 togetherH3162,11SayingH559, GodH430 hath forsaken him:PursueH7291 and take him; for there is none to deliverH5337.12O GodH430, be not farH7368 from me;O my GodH430, make haste to helpH5833 me.13Let them be putH954 to shameH954andconsumed that are adversaries to my soulH5315;Let them be covered with reproachH2781 and dishonor that seekH1245 my hurt.14But I will hopeH3176 continuallyH8548,And will praiseH8416 thee yet more and more.15My mouthH6310 shall tell of thy righteousnessH6666,Andof thy salvationH8668 all the dayH3117;For I knowH3045 not the numbers thereof.16I will comeH935 with the mightyH1369 acts of the LordH136 Jehovah:I will makeH2142 mention of thy righteousnessH6666, even of thine onlyH905.17O GodH430, thou hast taughtH3925 me from my youthH5271;And hitherto have I declaredH5046 thy wondrous works.18Yea, even when I am oldH7872 and grayheaded, O GodH430, forsakeH5800 me not,Until I have declaredH5046 thy strengthH1369 unto the next generationH1755,Thy might to every one that is to comeH935.
