The Psalmist remembers his youth. He recounts in the verses prior: "Since my youth, O God, you have taught me, and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds." As he looks back, he remembers the lessons taught to him. He remembers the place of God in his life. He remembers the life he knew in God... and so how appropriate to keep God in his retirement plan-- that he might live to declare to the next generation the great things God has done. How many generations later do we find ourselves from this writing? It appears that the story just might have legs.
