18. He rescued me from my powerful enemiesand from all those who hate me —they were too strong for me.
19. When I was in trouble, they attacked me,but the Lord protected me.
20. He helped me out of danger;he saved me because he was pleased with me.
21. The Lord rewards me because I do what is right;he blesses me because I am innocent.
22. I have obeyed the law of the Lord;I have not turned away from my God.
23. I have observed all his laws;I have not disobeyed his commands.
