17 “He^a sent 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.

20 ^aHe also brought me out into a broad place;
He delivered me because He ^bdelighted in me. ‡

21 “The^a Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness;
According to the ^bcleanness of my hands
He has recompensed me. ‡
