Psalms 71:21

¹⁹ Your righteousness reaches to the heavens, O God, You who have done great things. Who, O God, is like You?

²⁰ Though You have shown me many troubles and misfortunes, You will revive me once again. Even from the depths of the earth You will bring me back up.

You will increase my honor and comfort me once again.

²² So I will praise You with the harp for Your faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praise to You with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel.

²³ When I sing praise to You my lips will shout for joy, along with my soul, which You have redeemed.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
