9 Cast me not off now when old age And feebleness [on me] is come; O do not me forsake at last When [failing] strength is almost gone.
10 For those that are mine enemies, Against me speak with [bitter] hate; And they together counsel take Who for my life lay [daily] wait.
11 They say, His God, in whom he trusts, Doth [wholly] now this man forsake; ⟨p. 114⟩There's none to save him; now let us Him persecute and [boldly] take.
12 O God, in time of my distress, Be not thou far [from me] away, My God, who art my only help, [Now] help [thou] me without delay.
