Part 8

19:018:016 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.

19:018:017 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.

19:018:018 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.

19:018:019 He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

19:018:020 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

19:018:021 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

19:018:022 For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.

19:018:023 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.

19:018:024 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.

19:018:025 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;

19:018:026 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.

19:018:027 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.

19:018:028 For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.

19:018:029 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.

19:018:030 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.

19:018:031 For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?

19:018:032 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.

19:018:033 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places.

19:018:034 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.

19:018:035 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.

19:018:036 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.

19:018:037 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.

19:018:038 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.

19:018:039 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

19:018:040 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.

19:018:041 They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.

19:018:042 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.

19:018:043 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.
