(2) 16 He from above sent he me took: me out of waters-great he drew.

17 He from mine enemies-strong, and from them which me hated did rescue: For they were mightier then I.

18 They me prevented in the day of my cloudy calamity; but for me was the Lord a stay.

19 And he me to large place brought forth: he sav’d me, for he did delight 20 in me. The Lord rewarded me according as I did aright, According to the cleanness of my hands, he recompensed me.

21 For the ways of the Lord I kept: nor from my God went wickedly.

22 For all his judgments me before: nor from me put I his decree.

23 With him I upright was, and kept myself from mine iniquity.

24 The Lord hath recompensed me, after my righteousness therefore: according to the cleanness of my hands that was his eyes before.

25 With merciful, thou merciful, with upright thou deals uprightly.

26 With pure thou pure, thou also wilt with froward turn thy self awry.

27 For thou wilt save th’ afflicted folk: but wilt the lofty looks suppress.

28 For thou wilt light my lamp: the Lord, my God will lighten my darkness.

29 For by thee I ran through a troupe, and by my God leapt o’re a wall.

30 Gods way is perfect: Gods word tried: that trust in him he’s shield to all.
