Context of 2 Samuel 22:20
18He delivered me from my powerful enemy, from those who hated me— for they were much stronger than me. 19They came against me in the day of my calamity, but Adonai was my support. He brought me out to a wide-open place. He rescued me since He delighted in me. 21Adonai rewarded me for my righteousness. For the cleanness of my hands He repaid me. 22For I kept the ways of Adonai, and did not turn wickedly from my God.
