12 O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.

13 Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that scek my hurt.

14 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.

Cf. Rom. XV: 13.

15 My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.

16 I will go in the strength of the Lord GoD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of shine only.

Cf. II Cor. III: 5.

17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.

18 Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.

19 Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who lust done great things: O God, who is like unto thee!

20 Thou, which ban shewed me great and sore
