18 He saved me from my powerful enemies. He set me free from those who were too strong for me.
19 They stood up to me when I was in trouble. But the Lord helped me.
20 He brought me out into a wide and safe place. He saved me because he was pleased with me.
21 "The Lord has been good to me because I do what is right. He has rewarded me because I lead a pure life.
22 I have lived the way the Lord wanted me to. I haven't done evil by turning away from my God.
23 I keep all of his laws in mind. I haven't turned away from his commands.
24 He knows that I am without blame. He knows I've kept myself from sinning.
