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.
