Psalms 18:24-30

²⁴The Lord rewarded me for doing what's right. I am innocent in his sight.

²⁵You show trust to those who trust; you show integrity to those with integrity,

²⁶You show yourself pure to those who are pure, but you show yourself smart to those who are crafty.

²⁷You save the humble, but you bring down the proud.

²⁸You light my lamp! Lord, my God, you light up my darkness!

²⁹With you, I can charge down a troop of soldiers; with you, my God, I can climb a fortress wall.

³⁰God's way is absolutely right. What the Lord says is trustworthy. He is a shield to all who come to him for protection.
