Psalms 71:16
14 But I will always hope and will praise You more and more.
15 My mouth will declare Your righteousness and Your salvation all day long, though I cannot know their full measure.
I will enter in the strength of the Lord GOD; I will proclaim Your righteousness—Yours alone.
17 O God, You have taught me from my youth, and to this day I proclaim Your marvelous deeds.
18 Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, O God, until I proclaim Your power to the next generation, Your might to all who are to come.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
