Psalms 18:18 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 18:18

16 ^aHe sent from above, He took me;
He drew me out of many waters.

17 He delivered me from my strong enemy,
From those who hated me,
For they were too strong for me.

18 They confronted me in the day of my calamity,
But the Lord was my support.

19 ^aHe also brought me out into a broad place;
He delivered me because He delighted in me.

20 ^aThe Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness;
According to the cleanness of my hands
He has recompensed me.

21 For I have kept the ways of the Lord,
And have not wickedly departed from my God.

22 For all His judgments were before me,
And I did not put away His statutes from me.

23 I was also blameless¹ before Him,
And I kept myself from my iniquity.

24 ^aTherefore the Lord has recompensed me according to my righteousness,
According to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.
