12 O God, be not far from me, O my God, for my help make  haste.
         
                                
                        13 They are ashamed, they are consumed, Who are opposing my  soul, They are covered [with] reproach and blushing, Who are  seeking my evil,
         
                                
                        14 And I continually do wait with hope, And have added unto  all Thy praise.
         
                                
                        15 My mouth recounteth Thy righteousness, All the day Thy  salvation, For I have not known the numbers.
         
                                
                        16 I come in the might of the Lord Jehovah, I mention Thy  righteousness -- Thine only.
         
                                
                        17 God, Thou hast taught me from my youth, And hitherto I  declare Thy wonders.
         
                                
                        18 And also unto old age and grey hairs, O God, forsake me  not, Till I declare Thy strength to a generation, To every one  that cometh Thy might.
