15. Then the beds of the sea appeared and the foundations of the world were laid bare at Your rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of the breath of Your nostrils.
16. He reached from on high, He took me; He drew me out of many waters.
17. He delivered me from my strong enemy and from those who hated and abhorred me, for they were too strong for me.
18. They confronted and came upon me in the day of my calamity, but the Lord was my stay and support.
19. He brought me forth also into a large place; He was delivering me because He was pleased with me and delighted in me.
20. The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness (my conscious integrity and sincerity with Him); according to the cleanness of my hands has He recompensed me.
21. For I have kept the ways of the Lord and have not wickedly departed from my God.
