Psalm 71:14-24
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
14 But I will hope continually
and will praise you yet more and more.
15 My mouth will tell of your righteous acts,
of your deeds of salvation all day long,
though their number is past my knowledge.(A)
16 I will come praising the mighty deeds of the Lord God;
I will praise your righteousness, yours alone.(B)
17 O God, from my youth you have taught me,
and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds.(C)
18 So even to old age and gray hairs,
O God, do not forsake me,
until I proclaim your might
to all the generations to come.[a]
Your power(D) 19 and your righteousness, O God,
reach the high heavens.
You who have done great things,
O God, who is like you?(E)
20 You who have made me see many troubles and calamities
will revive me again;
from the depths of the earth
you will bring me up again.(F)
21 You will increase my honor
and comfort me once again.
22 I will also praise you with the harp
for your faithfulness, O my God;
I will sing praises to you with the lyre,
O Holy One of Israel.(G)
23 My lips will shout for joy
when I sing praises to you;
my soul also, which you have rescued.(H)
24 All day long my tongue will talk of your righteous help,
for those who tried to do me harm
have been put to shame and disgraced.(I)
