Psalms 71:17-24
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 71
17God, You have taught me from my youth, And I still declare Your wondrous deeds. 18And even when I am old and gray, God, do not abandon me, Until I declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to all who are to come. 19 For Your righteousness, God, reaches to the heavens, You who have done great things; God, who is like You? 20You who have shown me many troubles and distresses Will revive me again, And will bring me up again from the depths of the earth. 21May You increase my greatness And turn to comfort me. 22I will also praise You with a harp, And Your truth, my God; I will sing praises to You with the lyre, Holy One of Israel. 23My lips will shout for joy when I sing praises to You; And my soul, which You have redeemed. 24My tongue also will tell of Your righteousness all day long; For they are put to shame, for they are humiliated who seek my harm.King James Version

Chapter 71
17God, you have taught me from my youth, and I still proclaim your wondrous works. 18Even while I am old and gray, God, do not abandon me, while I proclaim your power to another generation, your strength to all who are to come. 19Your righteousness reaches the heights, God, you who have done great things; God, who is like you? 20You caused me to experience many troubles and misfortunes, but you will revive me again. You will bring me up again, even from the depths of the earth. 21You will increase my honor and comfort me once again. 22Therefore, I will praise you with a harp for your faithfulness, my God; I will sing to you with a lyre, Holy One of Israel. 23My lips will shout for joy when I sing praise to you because you have redeemed me. 24Therefore, my tongue will proclaim your righteousness all day long, for those who intend to harm me will be disgraced and confounded.New Living Translation
Chapter 71
17O God, you have taught me from my earliest childhood, and I constantly tell others about the wonderful things you do. 18Now that I am old and gray, do not abandon me, O God. Let me proclaim your power to this new generation, your mighty miracles to all who come after me.
19Your righteousness, O God, reaches to the highest heavens. You have done such wonderful things. Who can compare with you, O God?
20You have allowed me to suffer much hardship, but you will restore me to life again and lift me up from the depths of the earth.
21You will restore me to even greater honor and comfort me once again.
22Then I will praise you with music on the harp, because you are faithful to your promises, O my God. I will sing praises to you with a lyre, O Holy One of Israel.
23I will shout for joy and sing your praises, for you have ransomed me.
24I will tell about your righteous deeds all day long, for everyone who tried to hurt me has been shamed and humiliated.

17O God, from my youth you have taught me, and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds. 18So 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. 19Your righteousness, O God, reaches the high heavens. You who have done great things, O God, who is like you? 20You 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. 21You will increase my greatness and comfort me again. 22I 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. 23My lips will shout for joy, when I sing praises to you; my soul also, which you have redeemed. 24And my tongue will talk of your righteous help all the day long, for they have been put to shame and disappointed who sought to do me hurt.New International Version

17Since my youth, God, you have taught me, and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds.
18Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, my God, till I declare your power to the next generation, your mighty acts to all who are to come.
19Your righteousness, God, reaches to the heavens, you who have done great things. Who is like you, God?
20Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again; from the depths of the earth you will again bring me up.
21You will increase my honor and comfort me once more.
22I will praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, my God; I will sing praise to you with the lyre, Holy One of Israel.
23My lips will shout for joy when I sing praise to you— I whom you have delivered.
24My tongue will tell of your righteous acts all day long, for those who wanted to harm me have been put to shame and confusion.
