Psalms 18:21
19 He brought me out into the open; He rescued me because He delighted in me.
20 The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness; He has repaid me according to the cleanness of my hands.
For I have kept the ways of the LORD and have not wickedly departed from my God.
22 For all His ordinances are before me; I have not disregarded His statutes.
23 And I have been blameless before Him and kept myself from iniquity.
