Psalm 71:14-21

But I will hope continually
   and will praise You yet more and more.
My mouth will tell of Your righteous acts,
   of Your deeds of salvation all the day,
   for their number is past my knowledge.
With the mighty deeds of the Lord GOD I will come;
   I will remind them of Your righteousness, Yours alone.
O God, from my youth You have taught me,
   and I still proclaim Your wondrous deeds.
So even to old age and gray hairs,
   O God, do not forsake me,
until I proclaim Your might to another generation,
   Your power to all those to come.
Your righteousness, O God,
   reaches the high heavens.
You who have done great things,
   O God, who is like You?
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.
You will increase my greatness
   and comfort me again.

May God grant me the grace to pray this psalm with a believing heart.
