19. He to a place where libertyand room was hath me brought;Because he took delight in me,he my deliv'rance wrought.
20. According to my righteousnesshe did me recompense,He me repaid according tomy hands' pure innocence.
21. For I God's ways kept, from my Goddid not turn wickedly.
22. His judgments were before me, Ihis laws put not from me.
23. Sincere before him was my heart;with him upright was I;And watchfully I kept myselffrom mine iniquity.
24. After my righteousness the Lordhath recompensed me,After the cleanness of my handsappearing in his eye.
25. Thou gracious to the gracious art,to upright men upright:
26. Pure to the pure, froward thou kyth'stunto the froward wight.
27. For thou wilt the afflicted savein grief that low do lie:But wilt bring down the countenanceof them whose looks are high.
28. The Lord will light my candle so,that it shall shine full bright:The Lord my God will also makemy darkness to be light.
29. By thee through troops of men I break,and them discomfit all;And, by my God assisting me,I overleap a wall.
