18. Yes, even when I am old and grey-haired, God, don’t forsake me,until I have declared your strength to the next generation,your might to everyone who is to come.
19. Your righteousness also, God, reaches to the heavens;you have done great things.God, who is like you?
20. You, who have shown us many and bitter troubles,you will let me live.You will bring us up again from the depths of the earth.
21. Increase my honour,and comfort me again.
22. I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, my God.I sing praises to you with the lyre, Holy One of Israel.
23. My lips shall shout for joy!My soul, which you have redeemed, sings praises to you!
