17 He sent from on high, he took me; he drew me out of many waters;
18 He delivered me from my strong enemy, from them that hated me; for they were too mighty for me.
19 They came upon me in the day of my calamity: but the Lord was my stay.
20 He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
21 The Lord 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 the Lord, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
23 For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.
