Since My Youth You Have Taught Me

Since my youth, God, you have taught me,
    and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds.

Even 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. 

Your righteousness, God, reaches to the heavens,
    you who have done great things.
    Who is like you, God?

Though 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.

(Psalm 71:17-20)
