Context of Psalms 71:15

13Let those who attack my life be ashamed and consumed; Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor, who seek to injure me. 14But as for me, I will wait and hope continually, And will praise You yet more and more. My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness And of Your [deeds of] salvation all day long, For their number is more than I know. 16I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord God [and in His strength]; I will make mention of Your righteousness, Yours alone. 17O God, You have taught me from my youth, And I still declare Your wondrous works and miraculous deeds.
