Psalms 18:17-23

¹⁷He made me free from my strong hater, and from those who were against me, because they were stronger than I.

¹⁸They came on me in the day of my trouble; but the Lord was my support.

¹⁹He took me out into a wide place; he was my saviour because he had delight in me.

²⁰The Lord gives me the reward of my righteousness, because my hands are clean before him.

²¹For I have kept the ways of the Lord; I have not been turned away in sin from my God.

²²For all his decisions were before me, and I did not put away his laws from me.

²³And I was upright before him, and I kept myself from sin.
