18. They attacked me at my time of trouble.But the Lord supported me.
19. He took me to a safe place.Because he delights in me, he saved me.
20. The Lord spared me because I did what was right.Because I have not done evil, he has rewarded me.
21. I have followed the ways of the Lord.I have not done evil by turning away from my God.
22. I remember all his laws.I have not broken his rules.
23. I am innocent before him.I have kept myself from doing evil.
24. The Lord rewarded me because I did what was right.I did what the Lord said was right.
25. Lord, you are loyal to those who are loyal.You are good to those who are good.
26. You are pure to those who are pure.But you are against those who are bad.
27. You save those who are not proud.But you make humble those who are proud.
28. Lord, you give light to my lamp.My God brightens the darkness around me.
29. With your help I can attack an army.With God’s help I can jump over a wall.
30. The ways of God are without fault.The Lord’s words are pure.He is a shield to those who trust him.
31. Who is God? Only the Lord.Who is the Rock? Only our God.
32. God is my protection.He makes my way free from fault.
33. He makes me like a deer, which does not stumble.He helps me stand on the steep mountains.
34. He trains my hands for battle.So my arms can bend a bronze bow.
35. You protect me with your saving shield.You support me with your right hand.You have stooped to make me great.
36. You give me a wide path on which to walk.My feet have not slipped.
37. I chased my enemies and caught them.I did not quit till they were destroyed.
