9 O cast me not off in the time ‖ of my advanced Age: ‖ Forsake me not when that my strength ‖ is under a decay. ‖
10 For they that are my enemies ‖ ⟨p. 179⟩do spend their talk on me, ‖ and they consult together who ‖ watch for to seize my Soul. ‖
11 They say, God hath forsaken him; ‖ Now persecute the Man; ‖ And seize upon him: for there is ‖ none to deliver him. ‖
12 O God, Be'nt far from me: my God ‖ make haste unto my help. ‖
