For even from my youth, O God, by Thee have I been taught; And hitherto I have declared the wonders Thou hast wrought. And now O God, forsake me not when I am old and gray; Till I proclaim Thy wondrous deeds to this and ev'ry age. Thy perfect righteousness, O God, the heaven's height exceeds; O God, who is like Thee, who has perform'd such mighty deeds? Thou who hast shown me trials sore and great adversities; Will quicken me again and bring me from the depths of earth. My greatness and my pow'r Thou will increase and far extend; Against all grief on ev'ry side to me will comfort send. And I will also praise Thy truth, O God, with psaltery; Thou Holy One of Israel, with harp I'll sing to Thee.
