PSALMS 18:23-28

²³I was also perfect with 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 the perfect man thou wilt shew thyself perfect;

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

²⁷For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but the haughty eyes thou wilt bring down.

²⁸For thou wilt light my lamp: the LORD my God will lighten my darkness.
