Psalms 18:19-32 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

19. He brought me out to a spacious place; He rescued me because He delighted in me.

20. The Lord rewarded meaccording to my righteousness; He repaid meaccording to the cleanness of my hands.

21. For I have kept the ways of the Lordand have not turned from my God to wickedness.

22. Indeed, I have kept all His ordinances in mind and have not disregarded His statutes.

23. I was blameless toward Him and kept myself from sinning.

24. So the Lord repaid meaccording to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.

25. With the faithfulYou prove Yourself faithful;with the blameless manYou prove Yourself blameless;

26. with the pureYou prove Yourself pure,but with the crookedYou prove Yourself shrewd.

27. For You rescue an afflicted people, but You humble those with haughty eyes.

28. Lord, You light my lamp;my God illuminates my darkness.

29. With You I can attack a barrier, and with my God I can leap over a wall.

30. God — His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is pure. He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.

31. For who is God besides Yahweh? And who is a rock? Only our God.

32. God — He clothes me with strength and makes my way perfect.
