Psalms 71:17-24

¹⁷O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto I ever tell of thy wondrous deeds.

¹⁸Therefore also even in old age, and when I am grayheaded, O God, forsake me not: until I have told of thy strength unto this generation, to every one that may come of thy might.

¹⁹And thy righteousness, O God, reacheth even to the height, thou, who hast done great things: O God, who is like thee!

²⁰Thou, who hast shown me great distresses and misfortunes, wilt again revive me; and from the depths of the earth wilt thou bring me up again.

²¹Thou wilt increase my greatness, and wilt turn round and comfort me.

²²Also I, I will thank thee with the psaltery, for thy truth, O my God: I will sing unto thee with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.

²³My lips shall shout joyfully when I sing unto thee; and my soul too, which thou hast redeemed.

²⁴Also my tongue shall speak all the day of thy righteousness; for ashamed, for put to the blush are those that seek my unhappiness.
