18. He rescued me from my mighty enemy,from foes too powerful for me.
19. They attacked me on a day of distress,but the Lord came to my support.
20. He set me free in the open;he rescued me because he loves me.
21. The Lord acknowledged my righteousness;rewarded my clean hands.
22. For I kept the ways of the Lord;I was not disloyal to my God.
23. His laws were all before me,his decrees I did not cast aside.
24. I was honest toward him;I was on guard against sin.
25. So the Lord rewarded my righteousness,the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
26. Toward the faithful you are faithful;to the honest you are honest;
27. Toward the sincere you are sincere;but to the perverse you are devious.
28. Humble people you save,though on the haughty your eyes look down.
29. You are my lamp, O Lord!My God brightens the darkness about me.
30. With you I can rush an armed band,with my God to help I can leap a wall.
