22:17 He sent from on high, he took me; He drew me out of many waters;
22:18 He delivered me from my strong enemy, From them that hated me; for they were too mighty for me.
22:19 They came upon me in the day of my calamity; But Jehovah was my stay.
22:20 He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
22:21 Jehovah rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
22:22 For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not wickedly departed from my God.
22:23 For all his ordinances were before me; And as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.
22:24 I was also perfect toward him; And I kept myself from mine iniquity.
22:25 Therefore hath Jehovah recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to my cleanness in his eyesight.
22:26 With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful; With the perfect man thou wilt show thyself perfect;
22:27 With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; And with the perverse thou wilt show thyself froward.
