18 They were ready for me in the day of my calamity, but the Lord was my staff.
19 He brought me forth also into a wide place; he delivered me because he delighted in me.
20 The Lord will reward me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he shall recompense me.
21 Because I have kept the ways of the Lord and did not become wicked departing in apostasy from my God.
22 For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.
23 I was perfect before him, and I kept myself from my iniquity.
24 Therefore the Lord has recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands before his eyes.
