20 You have caused me to have many bad troubles.
    But you will make my life strong again.
You will lift me back out
    from this deep hole under the earth.[a]
21 You will make me great again,
    so that people respect me.
You will turn back to me,
    so that I feel strong.
22 I will pick up my harp
    and I will sing to thank you.
I will praise you, my God,
    because you do what you promise.
I will sing to praise you, the Holy One of Israel,
    with the music of a lyre.[b]
