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.
25. And Jehovah hath recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to my cleanness in his sight.
26. With the gracious thou dost shew thyself gracious; With the upright man thou dost shew thyself upright;
27. With the pure thou dost shew thyself pure; And with the perverse thou dost shew thyself contrary.
28. And the afflicted people thou dost save; And thine eyes are upon the haughty, whom thou bringest down.
29. For thou art my lamp, Jehovah; And Jehovah enlighteneth my darkness.
30. For by thee I have run through a troop; By my God have I leaped over a wall.
31. As for ·God his way is perfect; The word of Jehovah is tried: He is a shield to all that trust in him.
32. For who is ·God save Jehovah? And who is a rock, save our God
33. ·God is my strong fortress, And he maketh my way perfectly smooth.
34. He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, And setteth me upon my high places.
35. He teacheth my hands to war, And mine arms bend a bow of brass.
36. And thou didst give me the shield of thy salvation, And thy condescending gentleness hath made me great.
