Context of 2 Samuel 22:20
18He delivered me from my strong enemy, From them that hated me; for they were too mighty for me. 19They came upon me in the day of my calamity; But Jehovah was my stay. He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because he delighted in me. 21Jehovah rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me. 22For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not wickedly departed from my God.
