Psalm 18:18-23 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

18. They stood up to me when I was in trouble. But the Lord helped me.

19. He brought me out into a wide and safe place. He saved me because he was pleased with me.

20. The Lord has been good to me because I do what is right. He has rewarded me because I lead a pure life.

21. I have lived the way the Lord wanted me to. I haven't done evil by turning away from my God.

22. I keep all of his laws in mind. I haven't turned away from his commands.

23. He knows that I am without blame. He knows I've kept myself from sinning.
