16. Then the fountains of waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were discovered: At thy rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of the spirit of thy wrath.
17. He sent from on high, and took me: and received me out of many waters.
18. He delivered me from my strongest enemies, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.
19. They prevented me in the day of my affliction: and the Lord became my protector.
20. And he brought me forth into a large place: he saved me, because he was well pleased with me.
21. And the Lord will reward me according to my justice; and will repay me according to the cleanness of my hands:
22. Because I have kept the ways of the Lord; and have not done wickedly against my God.
23. For till his judgments are in my sight: and his justices I have not put away from me.
24. And I shall be spotless with him: and shall keep myself from my iniquity.
