Context of Psalms 71:13

11Saying, “God has abandoned him; Pursue and seize him, for there is no one to save him.” 12God, do not be far from me; My God, hurry to my aid! May those who are enemies of my soul be put to shame and consumed; May they be covered with disgrace and dishonor, who seek to injure me. 14But as for me, I will wait 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 art of writing.
