17. He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them who hated me: for they were too strong for me.
18. They attacked me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
19. He brought me forth also in a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
20. The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
21. For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
22. For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.
23. I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from my iniquity.
24. Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
