He led me to a place of safety;
he rescued me because he delights in me.
The Lord rewarded me for doing right;
he restored me because of my innocence.
For I have kept the ways of the Lord;
I have not turned from my God to follow evil.
I have followed all his regulations;
I have never abandoned his decrees.
The Lord rewarded me for doing right.
To the faithful you show yourself faithful;
to those with integrity you show integrity.
To the pure you show yourself pure,
You rescue the humble,
You light a lamp for me.
God’s way is perfect.
All the Lord’s promises prove true.
He is a shield for all who look to him for protection.
For who is God except the Lord?
Who but our God is a solid rock?
God arms me with strength,
and he makes my way perfect.
He trains my hands for battle;
Psalm 18, NLT
