18 He rescued me from my powerful enemyand from those who hated me,for they were too strong for me.
19 They confronted me in the day of my distress,but the Lord was my support.
20 He brought me out to a spacious place; He rescued me because He delighted in me.
21 The Lord rewarded meaccording to my righteousness; He repaid meaccording to the cleanness of my hands.
22 For I have kept the ways of the Lord and have not turned from my God to wickedness.
23 Indeed, I have kept all His ordinances in mind and have not disregarded His statutes.
24 I was blameless before Himand kept myself from sinning.
