15. And the beds of the waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were uncovered at thy rebuke, Jehovah, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
16. He reached forth from above, he took me, he drew me out of great waters:
17. He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me; for they were mightier than I.
18. They encountered me in the day of my calamity, but Jehovah was my stay.
19. And he brought me forth into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
20. Jehovah hath rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
21. For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, and have not wickedly departed from my God
22. For all his ordinances were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me;
23. And I was upright with him, and kept myself from mine iniquity.
24. And Jehovah hath recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
25. With the gracious thou dost shew thyself gracious; with the upright man thou dost shew thyself upright;
26. With the pure thou dost shew thyself pure; and with the perverse thou dost shew thyself contrary.
27. For it is thou that savest the afflicted people; but the haughty eyes wilt thou bring down.
