Forsake Me Not When My Strength Is Spent
2
In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me; incline your ear to me, and save me!
3
Be to me a rock of 2refuge, to which I may continually come; you have 3given the command to save me, for you are my 4rock and my fortress.
6
Upon you I have leaned 7from before my birth; you are he who 8took me from my mother's womb. My praise is continually of you.
11
and say, "God has forsaken him; pursue and seize him, for there is none to deliver him."
13
May my accusers be 16put to shame and consumed; 17with scorn and disgrace may they be covered who 18seek my hurt.
15
My 21mouth will tell of your righteous acts, of your deeds of salvation all the day, for 22their number is past my knowledge.
16
With the mighty deeds of the Lord GOD I will come; I will remind them of your righteousness, yours alone.
17
O God, from my youth you have taught me, and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds.
18
So even to 23old age and gray hairs, O God, 24do not forsake me, until I proclaim your might to another generation, your power to all those to come.
19
Your 25righteousness, O God, reaches the high heavens. You who have done 26great things, O God, 27who is like you?
20
You who have 28made me see many troubles and calamities will 29revive me again; from the depths of the earth you will bring me up again.
21
You will increase my greatness and comfort me again.
