Psalms 18:23-27

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

²⁴Therefore hath the LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands before his eyes.

²⁵To the merciful thou showest thyself merciful; To the upright thou showest thyself upright;

²⁶To the pure thou showest thyself pure, And to the perverse thou showest thyself perverse.

²⁷For thou savest the afflicted people, But the haughty countenance thou bringest down.
