19. They attacked me on my day of distress,but the Lord was my support.
20. He set me free in the open;he rescued me because he loves me.
21. The Lord acknowledged my righteousness,rewarded my clean hands.
22. For I kept the ways of the Lord;I was not disloyal to my God.
23. For his laws were all before me,his decrees I did not cast aside.
24. I was honest toward him;I was on guard against sin.
25. So the Lord rewarded my righteousness,the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
26. Toward the faithful you are faithful;to the honest man you are honest;
27. Toward the pure, you are pure;but to the perverse you are devious.
28. For humble people you save;haughty eyes you bring low.
29. For you, Lord, give light to my lamp;my God brightens my darkness.
30. With you I can rush an armed band,with my God to help I can leap a wall.
31. God’s way is unerring;the Lord’s promise is refined;he is a shield for all who take refuge in him.
32. Truly, who is God except the Lord?Who but our God is the rock?
