The Lord Protects

He reached down from on high and took hold of me;
He drew me out of deep waters.
He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.
They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the Lord was my support.
He brought me out into a spacious place;
He rescued me because He delighted in me.

The Lord has dealt with me
according to my righteousness;
according to the cleanness of my hands
He has rewarded me.
For I have kept the ways of the Lord;
I have not done evil by turning from my God.
All His laws are before me:
I have not turned away from His decrees.
I have been blameless before Him
and have kept myself from sin.
The Lord has rewarded me
according to my righteousness,
according to the cleanness of my hands
in His sight.

You, O Lord, kept my lamp burning;
my God turns my darkness into light.

(Psalm 18:16-24, 28)
