If you go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud, is the switch turned on for Messages?

If it is turned on, you will not be able to retrieve your text message.

If it is turned off, you would need to have an iPhone backup that contains this deleted text and you'd need to restore your iPhone to this back up. In doing so, you may lose other stuff between now and when that backup occurred
