New Century Version

Psalms 71:18-24 New Century Version (NCV)

18. Even though I am old and gray,do not leave me, God.I will tell the children about your power;I will tell those who live after me about your might.

19. God, your justice reaches to the skies.You have done great things;God, there is no one like you.

20. You have given me many troubles and bad times,but you will give me life again.When I am almost dead,you will keep me alive.

21. You will make me greater than ever,and you will comfort me again.

22. I will praise you with the harp.I trust you, my God.I will sing to you with the lyre,Holy One of Israel.

23. I will shout for joy when I sing praises to you.You have saved me.

24. I will tell about your justice all day long.And those who want to hurt mewill be ashamed and disgraced.
