17
He reached from on high, he took me, he drew me out of mighty waters.
18
He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me; for they were too mighty for me.
19
They came upon me in the day of my calamity, but the Lord was my stay.
20
He brought me out into a broad place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
21
The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he recompensed me.
