19
They confronted me in the day of my calamity, But the Lord was my support.
20
He also brought me out into a broad place; He delivered me because He delighted in me.
21
"The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands He has recompensed me.
22
For I have kept the ways of the Lord, And have not wickedly departed from my God.
23
For all His judgments were before me; And as for His statutes, I did not depart from them.
24
I was also blameless before Him, And I kept myself from my iniquity.
25
Therefore the Lord has recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to my cleanness in His eyes.
26
"With the merciful You will show Yourself merciful; With a blameless man You will show Yourself blameless;
27
With the pure You will show Yourself pure; And with the devious You will show Yourself shrewd.
28
You will save the humble people; But Your eyes are on the haughty, that You may bring them down.
29
"For You are my lamp, O Lord; The Lord shall enlighten my darkness.
30
For by You I can run against a troop; By my God I can leap over a wall.
31
As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.
32
"For who is God, except the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God?
33
God is my strength and power, And He makes my way perfect.
34
He makes my feet like the feet of deer, And sets me on my high places.
35
He teaches my hands to make war, So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
36
"You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; Your gentleness has made me great.
37
You enlarged my path under me; So my feet did not slip.
38
"I have pursued my enemies and destroyed them; Neither did I turn back again till they were destroyed.
39
And I have destroyed them and wounded them, So that they could not rise; They have fallen under my feet.
