Psalm 71:17-24

Lexham English Bible

¹⁷ O God, you have taught me from my youth,
and up to now I have proclaimed your wonderful deeds.
¹⁸ And even when I am old and gray,
O God, do not abandon me
until I proclaim your strength^[a] to this generation,
your power to every one that comes after.
¹⁹ And your righteousness, O God, is to the height of heaven.
You who have done great things,
O God, who is like you?
²⁰ You who have caused me^[b] to see many troubles and evils,
you will again revive me.^[c]
And from the depths of the earth
you will again bring me up.
²¹ You will increase my greatness,
and you will comfort me all around.^[d]
22 On my part, I will praise you with a stringed instrument,
and your faithfulness, O my God.
I will sing praises to you with a lyre,
O Holy One of Israel.
²³ My lips will sing for joy when I sing praises to you,
and my soul, which you have redeemed.
²⁴ My tongue also
will speak of your righteousness all the day,
because they have been put to shame, because they have been humiliated
who seek my harm.
