13The Lord thundered from heaven, the Most High uttered his voice.
14He shot his arrows and scattered them, flashed lightnings, and routed them.
15The channels of the sea were revealed, the world was laid bare to its base, at your rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.
16He stretched from on high, he seized me, drew me up from the mighty waters,
17and saved me from those who hated me — fierce foes, too mighty for me.
18In my day of distress they assailed me, but the Lord proved my support.
19To a spacious place he brought me, and, for love of me, he saved me.
20The Lord repays my innocence, he rewards my cleanness of hands.
21For I kept the ways of the Lord, nor have wickedly strayed from my God.
22His commandments were all before me, his statutes I put not away.
23And I was blameless before him, guarding myself from sin.
