Context of Psalms 71:16
14But as for me, I will wait continually, And will praise You yet more and more. 15My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness And of Your salvation all day long; For I do not know the art of writing. I will come with the mighty deeds of the Lord God; I will make mention of Your righteousness, Yours alone. 17God, You have taught me from my youth, And I still declare Your wondrous deeds. 18And even when I am old and gray, God, do not abandon me, Until I declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to all who are to come.
