Verse 21 is found in chapter 71 of Psalms. Psalm 71 presents the prayer of a person who remembers God’s faithfulness from the early stages of life and asks not to be abandoned in old age. Biographical memory becomes a theological argument: the God who sustained him before can continue to sustain him. The psalmist desires to transmit God’s strength to the coming generation and, after expressing his hope, promises to continually praise the Lord for his righteousness and faithfulness.

Du machst mich sehr groß und tröstest mich wieder.
Aumentarás mi grandeza, Y volverás a consolarme.
Aumentarás mi honor y volverás a consolarme.
Relève ma grandeur, Console-moi de nouveau!
Tu hai accresciuta la mia grandezza, E ti sei rivolto, e mi hai consolato.
Aumentarás a minha grandeza, e de novo me consolarás.
你必使我越發昌大, 又轉來安慰我。
