Compare all
17 O God, You have taught me from my ayouth;
And to this day I declare Your wondrous works. 
18 Now also awhen I am old and grayheaded,
O God, do not forsake me,
Until I declare Your strength to this generation,
Your power to everyone who is to come. 
19 Also aYour righteousness, O God, is very high,
You who have done great things;
bO God, who is like You? 
20 aYou, who have shown me great and severe troubles,
bShall revive me again,
And bring me up again from the depths of the earth. 
21 You shall increase my greatness,
And comfort me on every side.

Psalms 71:19

Thy righteousness - is very high - AD marom - is up to the exalted place, reaches up to heaven. The mercy of God fills all space and place. It crowns in the heavens what it governed upon earth.

Who hast done great things - gedoloth . Thou hast worked miracles, and displayed the greatest acts of power.

Who is like unto thee! - mi camocha . God is alone, - who can resemble him? He is eternal. He can have none before, and there can be none after; for in the infinite unity of his trinity he is that eternal, unlimited, impartible, incomprehensible, and uncompounded ineffable Being, whose essence is hidden from all created intelligences, and whose counsels cannot be fathomed by any creature that even his own hand can form. Who is Like Unto Thee! will excite the wonder, amazement, praise, and adoration of angels and men to all eternity.
