Psalm 71:16-18
New English Translation

16 I will come and tell about[a] the mighty acts of the Sovereign Lord.
I will proclaim your justice—yours alone.
17 O God, you have taught me since I was young,
and I am still declaring[b] your amazing deeds.
18 Even when I am old and gray,[c]
O God, do not abandon me,
until I tell the next generation about your strength,
and those coming after me about your power.[d]
