17. He reached forth from above, he took me, He drew me out of great waters;
18. He delivered me from my strong enemy, From them that hated me; For they were mightier than I.
19. They encountered me in the day of my calamity; But Jehovah was my stay.
20. And he brought me forth into a large place; He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
21. Jehovah hath rewarded me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
22. For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not wickedly departed from my God
23. For all his ordinances were before me, And his statutes, I did not depart from them,
24. And I was upright before him, And kept myself from mine iniquity.
