23
For all His judgments were before me; And as for His statutes, I did not depart from them.
24
I was also blameless before Him, And I kept myself from my iniquity.
25
Therefore the Lord has recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to my cleanness in His eyes.
26
"With the merciful You will show Yourself merciful; With a blameless man You will show Yourself blameless;
27
With the pure You will show Yourself pure; And with the devious You will show Yourself shrewd.
28
You will save the humble people; But Your eyes are on the haughty, that You may bring them down.
29
"For You are my lamp, O Lord; The Lord shall enlighten my darkness.
30
For by You I can run against a troop; By my God I can leap over a wall.
31
As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.
32
"For who is God, except the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God?
33
God is my strength and power, And He makes my way perfect.
