17
"He reached from on high, 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 mighty for me.
19
They came upon me in the day of my calamity; but the LORD was my stay.
20
He brought me forth 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.
