Psalms 18:23-26

²³I was also perfect with him, And I kept myself from mine iniquity.

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

²⁵With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful; With the perfect man thou wilt show thyself perfect;

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