Psalms 18:20-31

²⁰The Lord repays my innocence, he rewards my cleanness of hands.

²¹For I kept the ways of the Lord, nor have wickedly strayed from my God.

²²His commandments were all before me, his statutes I put not away.

²³And I was blameless before him, guarding myself from sin.

²⁴So the Lord repaid my innocence, my cleanness of hands in his sight.

²⁵With the loyal you are loyal, and with the blameless blameless.

²⁶With the pure you show yourself pure, but shrewd with the devious.

²⁷For the lowly people you save, but haughty eyes you abase.

²⁸You are my lamp, Lord, my God who enlightens my darkness.

²⁹With you I can storm a rampart, with my God I can leap a wall.

³⁰As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is pure. He is shield to all who take refuge in him.

³¹For who is God but the Lord? And who is a rock but our God?
