Psalms 18:16-28
-
16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.
-
17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.
-
18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
-
19 He brought me forth also into 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 mine iniquity.
-
24 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
-
25 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;
-
26 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.
-
27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.
-
28 For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
