¹⁷ But the mercy of the Lord is eternal for his worshippers, and their children's children will see his righteousness;

²⁵ I have been young, and now am old, but I have not seen the good man without help, or his children looking for bread.

⁴ Even when you are old I will be the same, and when you are grey-haired I will take care of you: I will still be responsible for what I made; yes, I will take you and keep you safe.

³¹ The grey head is a crown of glory, if it is seen in the way of righteousness.

¹⁴ They will give fruit even when they are old; they will be fertile and full of growth;

¹⁵ For a sign that the Lord is upright; he is my Rock, there is no deceit in him.

³⁰ Even the young men will become feeble and tired, and the best of them will come to the end of his strength;

³¹ But those who are waiting for the Lord will have new strength; they will get wings like eagles: running, they will not be tired, and walking, they will have no weariness.

⁵ For the Lord is good, and his mercy is never-ending; his faith is unchanging through all generations.

⁴ One generation after another will give praise to your great acts, and make clear the operation of your strength.

⁶ Children's children are the crown of old men, and the glory of children is their fathers.
