Psalms 18:15-21

¹⁵The bottom of the ocean became visible, and the foundations of the earth were uncovered, when Yahweh rebuked his enemies when he snorted.

¹⁶It was as though he reached down from heaven and grabbed me and pulled me up out of the deep ocean.

¹⁷He rescued me from my strong enemies who hated me; they were very strong, with the result that I could not defeat them.

¹⁸When I ◄was distressed/had troubles►, they attacked me, but Yahweh defended/protected me.

¹⁹He led me to a place where I was safe; he rescued me because he was pleased with me.

²⁰Yahweh has rewarded me because I do what is right; he has blessed me because I ◄am innocent/have not done things that are wrong►.

²¹I have obeyed Yahweh's laws; I have not abandoned him.
