23And I was upright before him, and I kept myself from sin.
24Because of this the Lord has given me the reward of my righteousness, because my hands are clean in his eyes.
25On him who has mercy you will have mercy; to the upright you will be upright;
26He who is holy will see that you are holy; but to the man whose way is not straight you will be a hard judge.
27For you are the saviour of those who are in trouble; but eyes full of pride will be made low.
