17. He extended his hand from above, he took me; he drew me out of the impetuous waters;
18. he delivered me from strong enemies, from those that hated me, who were stronger than I.
19. They came upon me unawares in the day of my calamity, but the Lord was my stay.
20. He brought me forth into a large place; he delivered me, because he had put his will in me.
21. The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he has recompensed me.
22. For I have kept the ways of the Lord and have not wickedly departed from my God.
23. For I have all his ordinances before me and am attentive to his statutes; I will not depart from them.
