Psalms 71:15-23

¹⁵My mouth shall speak of thy goodness,—Of thy sure protection all the day long; For thy mercies are more than I can number.

¹⁶I will celebrate thy mighty deeds, O Lord Jehovah! I will make mention of thy goodness, of thine only!

¹⁷O God! thou hast taught me from my youth, And thus far have I declared thy wondrous deeds;

¹⁸And now, when I am old and gray-headed, O God! forsake me not, Until I make known thine arm to the next generation,-Thy mighty power to all that are to come!

¹⁹For thy goodness, O God! reacheth to the heavens; Wonderful things doest thou! O God! who is like unto thee?

²⁰Thou hast suffered us to see great and grievous troubles; Thou wilt again give us life, And wilt bring us back from the depths of the earth!

²¹Thou wilt increase my greatness; Thou wilt again comfort me!

²²Then will I praise thee with the psaltery; Even thy faithfulness, O my God! To thee will I sing with the harp, O Holy One of Israel!

²³My lips shall rejoice, when I sing to thee; And my soul, which thou hast redeemed from death;
