17. (18) He delivered me from my strong oyev, and from them which hated me; for they were too strong for me.
18. (19) They confronted me in the day of my calamity; but Hashem was my stay.
19. (20) He brought me forth also into a place merkhav (spacious); He delivered me, because He delighted in me.
20. (21) Hashem dealt with me according to my tzedek; according to the cleanness of my hands hath He recompensed me.
21. (22) For I have been shomer regarding the Darkhei Hashem, and have not wickedly departed from Elohai.
22. (23) For all His mishpatim were before me, and I did not put away His chukkot from me.
23. (24) I was also tamim (blameless) before Him, and I kept myself from mine avon.
