and those who spy on me plot together, Ps 31:13; 56:6; 83:3

chase him and catch him,

for there is no one to rescue him.” Ps 3:2

my God, hurry to help me. Ps 22:19; 38:21-22; 40:13

be covered with disgrace and humiliation. Ps 71:24

and will praise You more and more. Ps 84:4; 130:7; 147:11

and Your salvation all day long,

though I cannot sum them up. Ps 35:28; 40:5; 96:2

I will proclaim Your righteousness, Yours alone. Ps 51:14; 106:2

and I still proclaim Your wonderful works. Dt 4:5; 6:7

18Even when I am old and gray,

God, do not abandon me. Is 46:4

Then I will Lit me until I proclaim Your power

to another generation,

Your strength to all who are to come. Ps 22:30-31; 78:4,6

19Your righteousness reaches heaven, God,

You who have done great things;

God, who is like You? Ex 15:11; Dt 3:24; Ps 86:8

many troubles and misfortunes, Ps 60:3

but You will revive me again. Ps 85:6

even from the depths of the earth. Hs 6:1-2

and comfort me once again. Ps 86:17; Is 12:1; 49:13

when I sing praise to You

Your righteousness all day long,

for those who seek my harm

will be disgraced and confounded. Ps 35:28; 71:13
