And also to old age and grey hairs, “” O God, do not forsake me, “” Until I declare Your strength to a new generation, “” Your might to everyone that comes.
And Your righteousness, O God, [is] to the heights, “” Because You have done great things, “” O God, who [is] like You?
Because You have showed me many and sad distresses, “” You turn back—You revive me, “” And from the depths of the earth, “” You turn back—You bring me up.
You increase my greatness, “” And You surround—You comfort me,
I also thank You with a vessel of stringed instrument, “” Your truth, O my God, I sing to You with a harp, “” O Holy One of Israel,
My lips cry aloud when I sing praise to You, “” And my soul that You have redeemed,
My tongue also utters Your righteousness all the day, “” Because ashamed—because confounded, “” Have been those seeking my evil!
Psalm 71:18-24
