17. He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from those who hated me because they were stronger than I.
18. They confronted me on the day of disaster, but Yahweh was my support.
19. So he brought me out to a spacious place. He delivered me because he delighted in me.
20. Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands he has repaid me.
21. Because I have kept the ways of Yahweh, and have not acted wickedly against my God,
22. because all his ordinances are before me, and his statutes I have not removed from me,
23. and I was blameless before him, and I kept myself from my guilt.
24. Therefore Yahweh has repaid me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
25. To the loyal you show yourself loyal. To the blameless you show yourself blameless.
26. To the pure you show yourself pure. but to the wicked you show yourself shrewd.
27. For you deliver humble people, but haughty eyes you humiliate.
28. For you light my lamp; Yahweh, my God, lights up my darkness.
