Context of Psalms 71:16
14But as for me, I will hope continually, and will praise thee yet more and more. 15My mouth shall declare thy righteousness, [and] thy salvation all the day: for I know not the numbers [thereof]. I will go in the might of the Lord Jehovah; I will recall thy righteousness, thine alone. 17O God, thou hast taught me from my youth, and hitherto have I proclaimed thy marvellous works: 18Now also, when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not, until I have proclaimed thine arm unto [this] generation, thy might to every one that is to come.
