O God, thou hast taught me from my youth, and until now will I declare thy wonders;
even until I am old and advanced in years. O God, forsake me not; until I shall have declared thine arm to all the generation that is to come:
even thy power and thy righteousness, O God, up to the highest [heavens, even] the mighty works which thou hast done: O God, who is like to thee?
What afflictions many and sore hast thou shewed me! yet thou didst turn and quicken me, and broughtest me again from the depths of the earth.
Thou didst multiply thy righteousness, and didst turn and comfort me, and broughtest me again out of the depths of the earth.

My lips shall rejoice when I sing to thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.
Moreover also my tongue shall dwell all the day upon thy righteousness; when they shall be ashamed and confounded that seek my hurt.
