16. Then ravines of water appeared. The foundations of earth were exposed, at Your rebuke, Adonai, at a blast of breath from Your nostrils.
17. He reached down from on high and took hold of me. He drew me out of mighty waters.
18. He saved me from my powerful enemy, from those who hated me— for they were much stronger than me.
19. They came against me in my day of calamity, but Adonai was my support.
20. He brought me out to a wide-open place. He rescued me since He delighted in me.
21. Adonai rewarded me for my righteousness. For the cleanness of my hands He repaid me.
22. For I kept the ways of Adonai, and did not turn wickedly from my God.
23. For all His judgments are before me. I do not put His rulings away from me.
24. I also had integrity with Him, and kept myself from my sin.
25. So Adonai rewarded me for my righteousness, for the cleanness of my hands in His eyes.
26. With the loyal You deal loyally. With the blameless You are blameless.
27. With the pure You are pure, and with the crooked You are shrewd.
