Psalm 70:14-24 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

14. But I will always have hope. And I will add more to all your praise.

15. My mouth will announce your justice, your salvation all day long. For I have not known letters.

16. I will enter into the powers of the Lord. I will be mindful of your justice alone, O Lord.

17. You have taught me from my youth, O God. And so I will declare your wonders continuously,

18. even in old age and with grey hairs. Do not abandon me, O God, while I announce your arm to every future generation: your power

19. and your justice, O God, even to the highest great things that you have done. O God, who is like you?

20. How great is the tribulation that you have revealed to me: very great and evil. And so, turning back, you have brought me to life, and you have led me back again from the abyss of the earth.

21. You have multiplied your magnificence. And so, turning back to me, you have consoled me.

22. Therefore, I will confess your truth to you, with the instruments of the Psalter. O God, I will sing psalms to you with stringed instruments, O Holy One of Israel.

23. My lips will exult, when I sing to you, and also my soul, which you have redeemed.

24. And even my tongue will meditate on your justice all day long, when those who seek evils for me have been confounded and set in awe.
