16. And the overflowings of the sea appeared, and the foundations of the world were laid open at the rebuke of the Lord, at the blast of the spirit of his wrath.
17. He sent from on high, and took me, and drew me out of many waters.
18. He delivered me from my most mighty enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.
19. He prevented me in the day of my affliction, and the Lord became my stay.
20. And he brought me forth into a large place, he delivered me, because I pleased him.
21. The Lord will reward me according to my justice: and according to the cleanness of my hands he will render to me.
22. Because I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
23. For all his judgments are in my sight: and his precepts I have not removed from me.
24. And I shall be perfect with him: and shall keep myself from my iniquity.
25. And the Lord will recompense me according to my justice: and according to the cleanness of my hands in the sight of his eyes.
26. With the holy one thou wilt be holy: and with the valiant perfect.
27. With the elect thou wilt be elect: and with the perverse thou wilt be perverted.
28. And the poor people thou wilt save: and with thy eyes thou wilt humble the haughty.
29. For thou art my lamp, O Lord: and thou, O Lord, wilt enlighten my darkness.
30. For in thee I will run girded: in my God I will leap over the wall.
31. God, his way is immaculate, the word of the Lord is tried by fire: he is the shield of all that trust in him.
32. Who is God but the Lord: and who is strong but our God?
33. God who hath girded me with strength, and made my way perfect.
