17. He reached down from on high and took hold of me. He drew me out of mighty waters.
18. He saved me from my powerful enemy, from those who hated me— for they were much stronger than me.
19. They came against me in my day of calamity, but Adonai was my support.
20. He brought me out to a wide-open place. He rescued me since He delighted in me.
21. Adonai rewarded me for my righteousness. For the cleanness of my hands He repaid me.
22. For I kept the ways of Adonai, and did not turn wickedly from my God.
