18. They confronted me in my day of calamity,but the Lord helped me.
19. He brought me out into a wide open place;he delivered me because he was pleased with me.
20. The Lord repaid me for my godly deeds;he rewarded my blameless behavior.
21. For I have obeyed the Lord’s commands;I have not rebelled against my God.
22. For I am aware of all his regulations,and I do not reject his rules.
23. I was innocent before him,and kept myself from sinning.
24. The Lord rewarded me for my godly deeds;he took notice of my blameless behavior.
