Context of Psalms 71:16
14But I—I will hope continually and will praise You more and more. 15My mouth will recount Your justice and Your salvation all day, though I do not know the sum of them. I come because of the mighty deeds of Adonai my Lord. I will remember Your righteousness —Yours alone. 17God, You taught me from my youth, and I still keep declaring Your wonders. 18So even until I am old and gray, O God, do not forsake me, till I tell of Your strong arm to the next generation, Your might to all who are to come.
