Psalms 18:21-25

²¹For I have kept the ways of the Lord, And have not wickedly departed from my God.

²²For all his judgments were before me, And I did not put away his statutes from me.

²³I was also upright before him, And I kept myself from mine iniquity.

²⁴Therefore hath the Lord recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.

²⁵With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; With an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;
