I will keep your statutes; do not utterly forsake me!
I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
Do not cast me off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength is spent.
Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me.
I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek your servant, for I do not forget your commandments.
Do not forsake me, O Lord! O my God, be not far from me! Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation!
I have sworn an oath and confirmed it, to keep your righteous rules.
I will delight in your statutes; I will not forget your word.
So even to old age and gray hairs, O God, do not forsake me, until I proclaim your might to another generation, your power to all those to come.
And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
Depart from me, you evildoers, that I may keep the commandments of my God. Uphold me according to your promise, that I may live, and let me not be put to shame in my hope! Hold me up, that I may be safe and have regard for your statutes continually!
