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.
31. God’s way is unerring;the Lord’s promise is tried and true;he is a shield for all who trust in him.
32. Truly, who is God except the Lord?Who but our God is the rock?
33. This God who girded me with might,kept my way unerring,
34. Who made my feet swift as a deer’s,set me safe on the heights,
35. Who trained my hands for war,my arms to bend even a bow of bronze.
