Young's Literal Translation YLT
New International Version NIV
18 And also unto old age and grey hairs, O God, forsake me not, Till I declare Thy strength to a generation, To every one that cometh Thy might.
18
Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, my God, till I declare your power to the next generation, your mighty acts to all who are to come.
19 And Thy righteousness, O God, [is] unto the heights, Because Thou hast done great things, O God, who [is] like Thee?
19
Your righteousness, God, reaches to the heavens, you who have done great things. Who is like you, God?
20 Because Thou hast showed me many and sad distresses, Thou turnest back -- Thou revivest me, And from the depths of the earth, Thou turnest back -- Thou bringest me up.
20
Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again; from the depths of the earth you will again bring me up.
21 Thou dost increase my greatness, And Thou surroundest -- Thou comfortest me,
21
You will increase my honor and comfort me once more.
22 I also thank Thee with a vessel of psaltery, Thy truth, O my God, I sing to Thee with a harp, O Holy One of Israel,
22
I will praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, my God; I will sing praise to you with the lyre, Holy One of Israel.
23 My lips cry aloud when I sing praise to Thee, And my soul that Thou hast redeemed,
23
My lips will shout for joy when I sing praise to you— I whom you have delivered.
24 My tongue also all the day uttereth Thy righteousness, Because ashamed -- because confounded, Have been those seeking my evil!
24
My tongue will tell of your righteous acts all day long, for those who wanted to harm me have been put to shame and confusion.
