Psalms 18:18-24

¹⁸They came against me on the day of my distress but Yahweh was my support!

¹⁹He set me free in a wide open place; he saved me because he was pleased with me.

²⁰Yahweh has rewarded me because of my righteousness; he has restored me because my hands were clean.

²¹For I have kept the ways of Yahweh and have not wickedly turned away from my God.

²²For all his righteous decrees have been before me; as for his statutes, I have not turned away from them.

²³I have also been innocent before him, and I have kept myself from sin.

²⁴Therefore Yahweh has restored me because of my righteousness, because my hands were clean before his eyes.
