19. They attacked me at a moment when I was in distress,but the lord supported me.
20. He led me to a place of safety;he rescued me because he delights in me.
21. The lord rewarded me for doing right;he restored me because of my innocence.
22. For I have kept the ways of the lord;I have not turned from my God to follow evil.
23. I have followed all his regulations;I have never abandoned his decrees.
24. I am blameless before God;I have kept myself from sin.
25. The lord rewarded me for doing right.He has seen my innocence.
26. “To the faithful you show yourself faithful;to those with integrity you show integrity.
27. To the pure you show yourself pure,but to the crooked you show yourself shrewd.
28. You rescue the humble,but your eyes watch the proud and humiliate them.
29. O lord, you are my lamp.The lord lights up my darkness.
30. In your strength I can crush an army;with my God I can scale any wall.
31. “God’s way is perfect.All the lord’s promises prove true.He is a shield for all who look to him for protection.
32. For who is God except the lord?Who but our God is a solid rock?
33. God is my strong fortress,and he makes my way perfect.
34. He makes me as surefooted as a deer,enabling me to stand on mountain heights.
35. He trains my hands for battle;he strengthens my arm to draw a bronze bow.
36. You have given me your shield of victory;your help has made me great.
