Psalms 71:19
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.
Your righteousness reaches to the heavens, O God, You who have done great things. Who, O God, is like You?
20 Though You have shown me many troubles and misfortunes, You will revive me once again. Even from the depths of the earth You will bring me back up.
21 You will increase my honor and comfort me once again.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
