Psalms 18:22-29

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;

²⁶With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; And with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.

²⁷For thou wilt save the afflicted people; But wilt bring down high looks.

²⁸For thou wilt light my candle: The Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.

²⁹For by thee I have run through a troop; And by my God have I leaped over a wall.
