17 “The Lord reached down from above and took me;he pulled me from the deep water.
18 He saved me from my powerful enemies,from those who hated me, because they were too strong for me.
19 They attacked me at my time of trouble,but the Lord supported me.
20 He took me to a safe place.Because he delights in me, he saved me.
21 “The Lord spared me because I did what was right.Because I have not done evil, he has rewarded me.
22 I have followed the ways of the Lord;I have not done evil by turning from my God.
23 I remember all his lawsand have not broken his rules.
