Psalms

Psalm 71:17–19

¹⁷O God, You have taught me from my youth,

and to this day I proclaim Your marvelous deeds.

¹⁸Even when I am old and gray,

do not forsake me, O God,

until I proclaim Your power to the next generation,

Your might to all who are to come.

¹⁹Your righteousness reaches to the heavens, O God,

You who have done great things.

Who, O God, is like You?
