18. He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
19. They came upon me in the day of my calamity, but the Lord was my stay.
20. He brought me forth into a large place; He delivered me because He delighted in me.
21. The Lord rewarded me according to my uprightness with Him; He compensated and benefited me according to the cleanness of my hands.
22. For I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
23. For all His ordinances were before me; and from His statutes I did not turn aside.
24. I was also blameless before Him and kept myself from guilt and iniquity.
25. Therefore the Lord has recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in His [holy] sight.
26. Toward the loving and loyal You will show Yourself loving and loyal, and with the upright and blameless You will show Yourself upright and blameless.
27. To the pure You will show Yourself pure, and to the willful You will show Yourself willful.
28. And the afflicted people You will deliver, but Your eyes are upon the haughty, whom You will bring down.
29. For You, O Lord, are my Lamp; the Lord lightens my darkness.
30. For by You I run through a troop; by my God I leap over a wall.
31. As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried. He is a Shield to all those who trust and take refuge in Him.
