17. He delivered me from my strong enemy, And from them that hated me; for they were too mighty for me.
18. They came upon me in the day of my calamity; But Jehovah was my stay.
19. He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
20. Jehovah hath rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
21. For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not wickedly departed from my God.
22. For all his ordinances were before me, And I put not away his statutes from me.
23. I was also perfect with him, And I kept myself from mine iniquity.
