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.
24So the Lord repaid my innocence, my cleanness of hands in his sight.
