## Psalms 71:18-20 in Context (Verses 15–23 KJV)
 
 [15 ](/kjv/psalms/71/15) My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness *and* thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers *thereof*.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/psalms/71/16) I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, *even* of thine only.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/psalms/71/17) O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/psalms/71/18) Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto *this* generation, *and* thy power to every one *that* is to come.**
 
 [19 ](/kjv/psalms/71/19) Thy righteousness also, O God, *is* very high, who hast done great things: O God, who *is* like unto thee!
 
 [20 ](/kjv/psalms/71/20) *Thou*, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/psalms/71/21) Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/psalms/71/22) I will also praise thee with the psaltery, *even* thy truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.*
 
 [23 ](/kjv/psalms/71/23) My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.
