2 Kings 22:18-31 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

18. He delivered me from my most mighty enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.

19. He prevented me in the day of my affliction, and the Lord became my stay.

20. And he brought me forth into a large place, he delivered me, because I pleased him.

21. The Lord will reward me according to my justice: and according to the cleanness of my hands he will render to me.

22. Because I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

23. For all his judgments are in my sight: and his precepts I have not removed from me.

24. And I shall be perfect with him: and shall keep myself from my iniquity.

25. And the Lord will recompense me according to my justice: and according to the cleanness of my hands in the sight of his eyes.

26. With the holy one thou wilt be holy: and with the valiant perfect.

27. With the elect thou wilt be elect: and with the perverse thou wilt be perverted.

28. And the poor people thou wilt save: and with thy eyes thou wilt humble the haughty.

29. For thou art my lamp, O Lord: and thou, O Lord, wilt enlighten my darkness.

30. For in thee I will run girded: in my God I will leap over the wall.

31. God, his way is immaculate, the word of the Lord is tried by fire: he is the shield of all that trust in him.
