Psalms 18:21-31

²¹For I have kept the ways of Yahweh and have not wickedly turned away from my God.

²²For all his righteous decrees have been before me; as for his statutes, I have not turned away from them.

²³I have also been innocent before him, and I have kept myself from sin.

²⁴Therefore Yahweh has restored me because of my righteousness, because my hands were clean before his eyes.

²⁵To anyone who is faithful, you show yourself to be faithful; to a man who is blameless, you show yourself to be blameless.

²⁶To anyone who is pure, you show yourself pure; but you are clever toward anyone who is twisted.

²⁷For you save afflicted people, but you bring down those with proud, uplifted eyes!

²⁸For you give light to my lamp; Yahweh my God lights up my darkness.

²⁹For by you I can run over a barricade; by my God I can leap over a wall.

³⁰As for God—his way is perfect! The word of Yahweh is pure! He is a shield to everyone who takes refuge in him.

³¹For who is God except Yahweh? Who is a rock except our God?
