17 He reached forth from above, he took me, He drew me out of great waters;
18 He delivered me from my strong enemy, From them that hated me; For they were mightier than I.
19 They encountered me in the day of my calamity; But Jehovah was my stay.
20 And he brought me forth into a large place; He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
21 Jehovah hath rewarded me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
22 For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not wickedly departed from my God
23 For all his ordinances were before me, And his statutes, I did not depart from them,
