Det var en ulykkens dag da de kom truende mot meg, men Herren var min støtte. Han førte meg ut i frihet. Han befridde meg for Han gledet seg over meg. Herren lønnet meg for å leve rett. Han belønnet meg for å leve etter Hans vilje med mitt liv. For jeg har ikke snudd ryggen til Gud og valgt et liv i ondskap.
