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. ‖
13 The adversaries of my Soul, ‖ may they confounded be. ‖ Yea, may they be consumed all, ‖ they who do seek my hurt: ‖ may they be covered with reproach, ‖ and with disgraceful shame. ‖
14 But as for me, I will maintain ‖ my hope continually; ‖ and I shall make additions still ‖ to all thy glorious praise. ‖
