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

Verse 18 is found in chapter 71 of Psalms. Psalm 71 presents the prayer of a person who remembers God’s faithfulness from the early stages of life and asks not to be abandoned in old age. Biographical memory becomes a theological argument: the God who sustained him before can continue to sustain him. The psalmist desires to transmit God’s strength to the coming generation and, after expressing his hope, promises to continually praise the Lord for his righteousness and faithfulness.

Auch verlaß mich nicht, Gott, im Alter, wenn ich grau werde, bis ich deinen Arm verkündige Kindeskindern und deine Kraft allen, die noch kommen sollen.
Y aun hasta la vejez y las canas; oh Dios, no me desampares, Hasta que denuncie tu brazo a la posteridad, Tus valentías a todos los que han de venir.
Aun en la vejez y con canas, oh Dios, no me abandones hasta que anuncie tu brazo poderoso a la próxima generación, tu fuerza a todos los que vendrán.
Ne m'abandonne pas, ô Dieu! même dans la blanche vieillesse, Afin que j'annonce ta force à la génération présente, Ta puissance à la génération future!
Non abbandonarmi ancora, o Dio, fino alla vecchiezza, anzi fino alla canutezza; Finchè io abbia annunziato il tuo braccio a questa generazione, E la tua potenza a tutti quelli che verranno appresso.
Agora também, quando estou velho e de cabelos brancos, não me desampares, ó Deus, até que tenha anunciado a tua força a esta geração, e o teu poder a todos os vindouros.
上帝啊,我年老髮白的時候, 求你不要離棄我! 等我宣揚你的能力給下一代, 宣揚你的大能給後世的人。
