19 [a]For Your (A)righteousness, God, reaches to the [b]heavens,
You who have (B)done great things;
God, (C)who is like You?
20 You who have (D)shown [c]me many troubles and distresses
Will (E)revive [d]me again,
And will bring [e]me up again (F)from the depths of the earth.
21 May You increase my (G)greatness
And turn to (H)comfort me.

22 I will also praise You with [f](I)a harp,
And Your [g]truth, my God;
I will sing praises to You with the (J)lyre,
(K)Holy One of Israel.
23 My lips will (L)shout for joy when I sing praises to You;
And my (M)soul, which You have redeemed.
24 My (N)tongue also will tell of Your righteousness all day long;
For they are (O)put to shame, for they are humiliated who seek [h]my harm.
