Psalms 18:19 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 18:19

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.

25 ^aWith the merciful You will show Yourself merciful;
With a blameless man You will show Yourself blameless;

26 With the pure You will show Yourself pure;
And ^awith the devious You will show Yourself shrewd.
