O Alahiym, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.

Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O Alahiym, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.

My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.
