Daily Bible GNT March 22 Verses

¹⁷The LORD reached down from above and took hold of me;

he pulled me out of the deep waters.

¹⁸He rescued me from my powerful enemies

and from all those who hate me--

they were too strong for me.

¹⁹When I was in trouble, they attacked me,

but the LORD protected me.

²⁰He helped me out of danger;

he saved me because he was pleased with me.

²¹The LORD rewards me because I do what is right;

he blesses me because I am innocent.

²²I have obeyed the law of the LORD;

I have not turned away from my God.

²³I have observed all his laws;

I have not disobeyed his commands.

²⁴He knows that I am faultless,

that I have kept myself from doing wrong.

²⁵And so he rewards me because I do what is right,

because he knows that I am innocent.

²⁶O LORD, you are faithful to those who are faithful to you,

and completely good to those who are perfect.

²⁷You are pure to those who are pure,

but hostile to those who are wicked.

²⁸You save those who are humble,

but you humble those who are proud.

²⁹You, LORD, are my light;

you dispel my darkness.

³⁰You give me strength to attack my enemies

and power to overcome their defenses.

³¹This God--how perfect are his deeds,

how dependable his words!

He is like a shield

for all who seek his protection.
