"You got me when I was an unformed youth, God, and taught me everything I know. Now I'm telling the world your wonders; I'll keep at it until I'm old....."

"O Lord, you alone are my hope. I've trusted you, O Lord, from childhood. Yes, you have been with me from birth; from my mother's womb you have cared....."

"My life is an example to many, because you have been my strength and protection. That is why I can never stop praising you; I declare your glory all....."

"I will tell about your righteous deeds all day long, for everyone who tried to hurt me has been shamed and humiliated."

"I will keep on hoping for your help; I will praise you more and more."

"I will tell everyone about your righteousness. All day long I will proclaim your saving power, though I am not skilled with words."

"Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, O God, till I declare your power to the next generation, your might to all who are to come."

"My mouth is filled with your praise, declaring your splendor all day long."

"Do not cast me away when I am old; do not forsake me when my strength is gone."

"I will shout for joy and sing your praises, for you have ransomed me."

"Your righteousness, O God, reaches to the highest heavens. You have done such wonderful things. Who can compare with you, O God?"
