Psalms 71:18–22 · Berean Standard Bible

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.
