15 My mouth will tell about Your righteousness
and Your salvation all day long,
though I cannot sum them up.(A)
16 I come because of the mighty acts of the Lord God;
I will proclaim Your righteousness, Yours alone.(B)

17 God, You have taught me from my youth,
and I still proclaim Your wonderful works.(C)
18 Even when I am old and gray,
God, do not abandon me.(D)
Then I will[a] proclaim Your power
to another generation,
Your strength to all who are to come.(E)
19 Your righteousness reaches heaven, God,
You who have done great things;
God, who is like You?(F)
20 You caused me to experience
many troubles and misfortunes,(G)
but You will revive me again.(H)
You will bring me up again,
even from the depths of the earth.(I)
21 You will increase my honor
and comfort me once again.(J)
22 Therefore, I will praise You with a harp
for Your faithfulness, my God;
I will sing to You with a lyre,
Holy One of Israel.(K)
23 My lips will shout for joy
when I sing praise to You
because You have redeemed me.(L)
24 Therefore, my tongue will proclaim
Your righteousness all day long,
for those who seek my harm
will be disgraced and confounded.(M)
