17. O God, thou hast taught me from my youth and until now; I shall manifest thy wondrous works.
18. Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not until I have showed the strength of thy arm unto the next generation and thy power to every one that is to come,
19. and thy righteousness, O God, unto excellence because thou hast done great things; O God, who is like unto thee!
20. Thou who hast caused me to see great and sore troubles, shalt return and quicken me and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
21. Thou shalt increase my greatness and comfort me on every side.
22. I will also praise thee with an instrument of the psaltery, O my God; unto thee will I sing thy truth with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.
23. My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing praises unto thee and my soul, which thou hast ransomed.
