2 Samuel 22:16–25

16 Then the channels of the sea wwere seen,

The foundations of the world were uncovered,

At the xrebuke of the Lord,

At the blast of the breath of His nostrils.

17 “He ysent from above, He took me,

He drew me out of many waters.

18 He delivered me from my strong enemy,

From those who hated me;

For they were too strong for me.

19 They confronted me in the day of my calamity,

But the Lord was my zsupport.

20 aHe also brought me out into a broad place;

He delivered me because He bdelighted in me.

21 “The cLord rewarded me according to my righteousness;

According to the dcleanness of my hands

He has recompensed me.

22 For I have ekept the ways of the Lord,

And have not wickedly departed from my God.

23 For all His fjudgments were before me;

And as for His statutes, I did not depart from them.

24 I was also gblameless before Him,

And I kept myself from my iniquity.

25 Therefore hthe Lord has 5recompensed me according to my righteousness,

According to 6my cleanness in His eyes.
