Psalms 71:12

PrayerGod's presence

10 For my enemies speak against me, and those who lie in wait for my life conspire,

11 saying, “God has forsaken him; pursue him and seize him, for there is no one to rescue him.”

Be not far from me, O God. Hurry, O my God, to help me.

13 May the accusers of my soul be ashamed and consumed; may those who seek my harm be covered with scorn and disgrace.

14 But I will always hope and will praise You more and more.
