Psalms 18:16-26

¹⁶He hath sent downe from aboue and taken mee: hee hath drawen mee out of many waters.

¹⁷He hath deliuered mee from my strong enemie, and from them which hate me: for they were too strong for me.

¹⁸They preuented me in the day of my calamitie: but the Lord was my stay.

¹⁹Hee brought mee foorth also into a large place: hee deliuered mee because hee fauoured me.

²⁰The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousnes: according to the purenes of mine hands he recompensed me:

²¹Because I kept the wayes of the Lord, and did not wickedly against my God.

²²For all his Lawes were before mee, and I did not cast away his commandements from mee.

²³I was vpright also with him, and haue kept me from my wickednes.

²⁴Therefore the Lord rewarded me according to my righteousnesse, and according to the purenes of mine hands in his sight.

²⁵With the godly thou wilt shewe thy selfe godly: with the vpright man thou wilt shew thy selfe vpright.

²⁶With the pure thou wilt shewe thy selfe pure, and with the froward thou wilt shewe thy selfe froward.
