18 They came at me on the very day of my distress,but the Lord was my support.
19 He brought me out to wide-open spaces;he pulled me out safebecause he is pleased with me.
20 The Lord rewarded me for my righteousness;he restored me because my hands are clean,
21 because I have kept the Lord’s ways.I haven’t acted wickedly against my God.
22 All his rules are right in front of me;I haven’t turned away from any of his laws.
23 I have lived with integrity before him;I’ve kept myself from wrongdoing.
24 And so the Lord restored me for my righteousnessbecause my hands are clean in his eyes.
