Psalms 18:17-24

¹⁷He delivered me from my strong enemy; From my adversaries, who were too powerful for me.

¹⁸They fell upon me in the day of my calamity; But the LORD was my stay.

¹⁹He brought me forth into a large place; He delivered me, because he delighted in me.

²⁰The LORD hath rewarded me according to my righteous; According to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

²¹For I have kept the ways of the LORD, And have not wickedly departed from my God.

²²For all his laws were in my sight; I did not put away his statutes from me.

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

²⁴Therefore hath the LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands before his eyes.
