17 He sent from on high, he took me; He drew me out of many waters;
18 He delivered me from my strong enemy, From those who hated me; for they were too mighty for me.
19 They came on me in the day of my calamity; But Yahweh was my stay.
20 He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
21 Yahweh rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.
22 For I have kept the ways of Yahweh, And have not wickedly departed from my God.
23 For all his ordinances were before me; As for his statutes, I did not depart from them.
