Psalms 71:17-20

¹⁷O God, you have been my teacher from the time when I was young; and I have been talking of your works of wonder even till now.

¹⁸Now when I am old and grey-headed, O God, give me not up; till I have made clear your strength to this generation, and your power to all those to come.

¹⁹Your righteousness, O God, is very high; you have done great things; O God, who is like you?

²⁰You, who have sent great and bitter troubles on me, will give me life again, lifting me up from the deep waters of the underworld.
