11. He made darkness His secret place;His pavilion was surrounding Him,dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
12. At the brightness before Him His thick clouds passed by,hailstones and coals of fire.
13. The Lord also thundered in the heavens,and the Most High gave His voice,hailstones and coals of fire.
14. He sent out His arrows and scattered them,and He shot out lightning and distressed them.
15. Then the channels of waters appeared,and the foundations of the world were discoveredat Your rebuke, O Lord,at the blast of the breath of Your nostrils.
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 those who hated me,for they were too strong for me.
18. They confronted me in the day of my calamity,but the Lord was my support.
19. He also brought me forth 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 He has repaid 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 my iniquity.
24. Therefore the Lord has repaid me according to my righteousness,according to the cleanness of my hands in His view.
25. With the merciful You will show Yourself merciful;with the blameless man You will show Yourself blameless;
26. with the pure You will show Yourself pure;and with the crooked You will show Yourself crooked.
27. For You will save the afflicted people,but will bring down prideful eyes.
28. For You will cause my lamp to shine;the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.
29. For by You I can run through a troop,and by my God I can leap a wall.
30. As for God, His way has integrity;the word of the Lord is proven;He is a shieldto all those who take refuge in Him.
31. For who is God except the Lord? Or who is a rock besides our God?
