from them
which hate me: for they are too mighty for me.
18 They prevented me in the day of my trouble: but the Lord was
my upholder.
19 He brought me forth also into a place of liberty: he brought
me forth, even because he had a favour unto me.
20 The Lord shall reward me after my righteous dealing: according
to the cleanness of my hands shall he recompense me.
21 Because I have kept the ways of the Lord: and have not forsaken
my God, as the wicked doth.
22 For I have an eye unto all his laws: and will not cast out his
commandments from me.
23 I was also uncorrupt before him: and eschewed mine own wickedness.
24 Therefore shall the Lord reward me after my righteous dealing:
and according unto the cleanness of my hands in his eye-sight.
25 With the holy thou shalt be holy: and with a perfect man thou

26 With the clean thou shalt be clean: and with the froward thou

34 He teacheth mine hands to fight: and mine arms shall break even

will I turn again till I have destroyed them.
38 I will smite them, that they shall not be able to stand: but
fall under my feet.
39 Thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou shalt

40 Thou hast made mine enemies also to turn their backs upon me:
and I shall destroy them that hate me.
