Psalms 71:17
15 My mouth will declare Your righteousness and Your salvation all day long, though I cannot know their full measure.
16 I will enter in the strength of the Lord GOD; I will proclaim Your righteousness—Yours alone.
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.
19 Your righteousness reaches to the heavens, O God, You who have done great things. Who, O God, is like You?
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
