For even from my youth, O God,
by thee I have been taught;
And hitherto I have declared
the wonders thou hast wrought.
And now, O God, forsake me not
When I am old and gray;
Till I proclaim Thy wondrous deeds
To this an every age.
Thy perfect righteousness, O God,
The heaven's height exceeds;
O God, who is like Thee, who has
performed such mighty deeds
Thou who hast sent me many griefs
Wilt yet my soul restore,
And out of sorrow's lowest depths
Wilt bring me forth once more.
My greatness and my pow'r Thou will
increase and far extend;
Against all grief on ev'ry side
to me will comfort send.
And I will also praise Thy truth,
O God, with psaltery;
Thou Holy One of Israel,
With harp I'll sing to thee.
