16 Then the fountains of waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were revealed, by your rebuke, O Lord, by the inspiration of the Spirit of your wrath.
17 He sent from on high, and he accepted me. And he took me up, out of many waters.
18 He rescued me from my strongest enemies, and from those who hated me. For they had been too strong for me.
19 They intercepted me in the day of my affliction, and the Lord became my protector.
20 And he led me out, into a wide place. He accomplished my salvation, because he willed me.
21 And the Lord will reward me according to my justice, and he will repay me according to the purity of my hands.
22 For I have preserved the ways of the Lord, and I have not behaved impiously before my God.
