16. I will go in the strength of the Lord God;I will proclaim your goodness, yours alone.
17. You have taught me ever since I was young,and I still tell of your wonderful acts.
18. Now that I am old and my hair is grey,do not abandon me, O God!Be with me while I proclaim your power and mightto all generations to come.
19. Your righteousness, God, reaches the skies.You have done great things;there is no one like you.
20. You have sent troubles and suffering on me,but you will restore my strength;you will keep me from the grave.
21. You will make me greater than ever;you will comfort me again.
22. I will indeed praise you with the harp;I will praise your faithfulness, my God.On my harp I will play hymns to you,the Holy One of Israel.
23. I will shout for joy as I play for you;with my whole being I will singbecause you have saved me.
24. I will speak of your righteousness all day long,because those who tried to harm mehave been defeated and disgraced.
