17 O God, You ahave taught me from my youth,

And I still bdeclare Your wondrous deeds.

18 And even when I am aold and gray, O God, do not forsake me,

Until I bdeclare Your 1strength to this generation,

19 1For Your arighteousness, O God, reaches to the 2heavens,

You who have bdone great things;

O God, cwho is like You?

20 You who have ashown 1me many troubles and distresses

Will brevive 1me again,

And will bring 1me up again cfrom the depths of the earth.

21 May You increase my agreatness

And turn to bcomfort me.

22 I will also praise You with 1aa harp,

Even Your 2truth, O my God;

To You I will sing praises with the blyre,

O cHoly One of Israel.

23 My lips will ashout for joy when I sing praises to You;

And my bsoul, which You have redeemed.

For they are bashamed, for they are humiliated who seek 1my hurt.
