7I have become as a wonder to many, But You are my strong refuge. | 7I have become a portent to many, but You are my strong refuge. |
8Let my mouth be filled with Your praise And with Your glory all the day. | 8My mouth is filled with Your praise and with Your splendor all day long. |
9Do not cast me off in the time of old age; Do not forsake me when my strength fails. | 9Do not discard me in my old age; do not forsake me when my strength fails. |
10For my enemies speak against me; And those who lie in wait for my life take counsel together, | 10For my enemies speak against me, and those who lie in wait for my life conspire, |
11Saying, “God has forsaken him; Pursue and take him, for there is none to deliver him.” | 11saying, “God has forsaken him; pursue him and seize him, for there is no one to rescue him.” |
12O God, do not be far from me; O my God, make haste to help me! | 12Be not far from me, O God. Hurry, O my God, to help me. |
13Let them be confounded and consumed Who are adversaries of my life; Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor Who seek my hurt. | 13May the accusers of my soul be ashamed and consumed; may those who seek my harm be covered with scorn and disgrace. |
14But I will hope continually, And will praise You yet more and more. | 14But I will always hope and will praise You more and more. |
15My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness And Your salvation all the day, For I do not know their limits. | 15My mouth will declare Your righteousness and Your salvation all day long, though I cannot know their full measure. |
16I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD; I will make mention of Your righteousness, of Yours only. | 16I will enter in the strength of the Lord GOD; I will proclaim Your righteousness—Yours alone. |
17O God, You have taught me from my youth; And to this day I declare Your wondrous works. | 17O God, You have taught me from my youth, and to this day I proclaim Your marvelous deeds. |
18Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, do not forsake me, Until I declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to everyone who is to come. | 18Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, O God, until I proclaim Your power to the next generation, Your might to all who are to come. |
19Also Your righteousness, O God, is very high, You who have done great things; O God, who is like You? | 19Your righteousness reaches to the heavens, O God, You who have done great things. Who, O God, is like You? |
20You, who have shown me great and severe troubles, Shall revive me again, And bring me up again from the depths of the earth. | 20Though You have shown me many troubles and misfortunes, You will revive me once again. Even from the depths of the earth You will bring me back up. |
21You shall increase my greatness, And comfort me on every side. | 21You will increase my honor and comfort me once again. |
22Also with the lute I will praise You— And Your faithfulness, O my God! To You I will sing with the harp, O Holy One of Israel. | 22So I will praise You with the harp for Your faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praise to You with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel. |
23My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing to You, And my soul, which You have redeemed. | 23When I sing praise to You my lips will shout for joy, along with my soul, which You have redeemed. |
24My tongue also shall talk of Your righteousness all the day long; For they are confounded, For they are brought to shame Who seek my hurt. | 24My tongue will indeed proclaim Your righteousness all day long, for those who seek my harm are disgraced and confounded. |
