20 (A)He also brought me out into a broad place;
He delivered me because He (B)delighted in me.

21 “The(C) Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness;
According to the (D)cleanness of my hands
He has recompensed me.
22 For I have (E)kept the ways of the Lord,
And have not wickedly departed from my God.
23 For all His (F)judgments were before me;
And as for His statutes, I did not depart from them.
24 I was also (G)blameless before Him,
And I kept myself from my iniquity.
25 Therefore (H)the Lord has [a]recompensed me according to my righteousness,
According to [b]my cleanness in His eyes.
