20 You have shown me many afflictions and hardships,
    but you will once again revive me.
From the depths of the earth[a]
    you will once again raise me up.
21 You will restore my honor
    and console me once again.
22 Then I will also praise[b] you with the harp
    for your faithfulness, O my God.
I will sing praises to you with the lyre,
    O Holy One of Israel.
