Psalms 71:17-23

¹⁷God, you have taught me since I was young, and I still tell others about all the wonderful things you do.

¹⁸Even though I'm old and gray, please don't abandon me, God. Let me tell the new generation about your power. Let me explain to all who are to come the great things you do.

¹⁹God, your trustworthy and true nature is higher than the highest heaven! You have done incredible things! God, who is like you?

²⁰You had me face many troubles and plenty of misery, but you will bring me back to life; you will rise me up from the depths of the earth.

²¹You will give me even greater prestige, and you will make me happy again.

²²Then I will praise you on the harp for your trustworthiness, my God. I will sing praises to you on the lyre, Holy One of Israel.

²³I will shout for joy as I sing praises to you, for you have redeemed me.
