Psalm 18:18–21

18 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,

but the Lord was my support.

19 He brought me out into a spacious place;

he rescued me because he delighted in me.

20 The Lord has dealt with me according to my righteousness;

according to the cleanness of my hands he has rewarded me.

21 For I have kept the ways of the Lord;

I am not guilty of turning from my God.

18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity:

But the Lord was my stay.

19 He brought me forth also into a large place;

He delivered me, because he delighted in me.

20 The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness;

According to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

21 For I have kept the ways of the Lord,

And have not wickedly departed from my God.

18 They attacked me at a moment when I was in distress,

but the Lord supported me.

19 He led me to a place of safety;

he rescued me because he delights in me.

20 The Lord rewarded me for doing right;

he restored me because of my innocence.

21 For I have kept the ways of the Lord;

but the Lord supported me.

19 He took me to a safe place.

Because he delights in me, he saved me.

20 The Lord spared me because I did what was right.

Because I have not done evil, he has rewarded me.

21 I have followed the ways of the Lord;

I have not done evil by turning away from my God.

But Jehovah was my stay.

19 He brought me forth also into a large place;

He delivered me, because he delighted in me.

20 Jehovah hath rewarded me according to my righteousness;

20 Jehovah hath rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me. 21 For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

18 On the day when I faced disaster, they confronted me, 

but the Lord came to my defense. 

19 He brought me out to a wide-open place. 

He rescued me because he was pleased with me. 

20 The Lord rewarded me 

because of my righteousness, 

because my hands are clean. 

He paid me back 

21 because I have kept the ways of the Lord 

and I have not wickedly turned away from my God, 

18 They confronted me in the day of my distress,

but the Lord was my support.

19 He brought me out to a spacious place;

He rescued me because He delighted in me.

20 The Lord rewarded me

according to my righteousness;

He repaid me

according to the cleanness of my hands.

21 For I have kept the ways of the Lord

and have not turned from my God to wickedness.

18 They confronted me in the day of my calamity,

but the Lord was my support.

19 He brought me out into a broad place;

he delivered me because he delighted in me.

20 The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness;

according to the cleanness of my hands he recompensed me.

21 For I have kept the ways of the Lord

and have not wickedly departed from my God.

18 They confronted me on the day of disaster,

but Yahweh was my support.

19 So he brought me out to a spacious place.

He delivered me because he delighted in me.

20 Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness;

According to the cleanness of my hands

he has repaid me.

21 Because I have kept the ways of Yahweh,

and have not acted wickedly against my God,

18 They stood up to me when I was in trouble.

But the Lord helped me.

19 He brought me out into a wide and safe place.

20 The Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness;

According to the cleanness of my hands He has recompensed me.

21 For I have kept the ways of the Lord,

And have not wickedly departed from my God.
