Psalm 18:16-29
16 He sent from on high, He took me; He drew me out of many waters.
17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, And from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
18 They confronted me in the day of my disaster, But Yahweh was my support.
19 He brought me forth also into a broad place; He rescued me, because He delighted in me.
20 Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands He has recompensed me.
21 For I have kept the ways of Yahweh, 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 blameless with Him, And I kept myself from my iniquity.
24 Therefore Yahweh has recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands before His eyes.
25 With the kind You show Yourself kind; With the blameless You show Yourself blameless;
26 With the pure You show Yourself pure, And with the crooked You show Yourself astute.
27 For You save an afflicted people, But eyes which are lifted up, You bring down.
28 For You light my lamp; Yahweh my God illumines my darkness.
29 For by You I can run upon a troop; And by my God I can leap over a wall.
