He brought me out into a wide open place; he delivered me because he was pleased with me.
May the Lord your God be praised because he favored you by placing you on the throne of Israel! Because of the Lord’s eternal love for Israel, he made you king so you could make just and right decisions.”
And surely, he drew you from the mouth of distress, to a wide place, unrestricted, and to the comfort of your table filled with rich food.
In my distress I cried out to the Lord. The Lord answered me and put me in a wide open place.
You widen my path; my feet do not slip.
You do not deliver me over to the power of the enemy; you enable me to stand in a wide open place.
The Lord grants success to the one whose behavior he finds commendable.
He lifted me out of the watery pit, out of the slimy mud. He placed my feet on a rock and gave me secure footing.
