Psalms 18:24-30

²⁴Therefore Yahweh has restored me because of my righteousness, because my hands were clean before his eyes.

²⁵To anyone who is faithful, you show yourself to be faithful; to a man who is blameless, you show yourself to be blameless.

²⁶To anyone who is pure, you show yourself pure; but you are clever toward anyone who is twisted.

²⁷For you save afflicted people, but you bring down those with proud, uplifted eyes!

²⁸For you give light to my lamp; Yahweh my God lights up my darkness.

²⁹For by you I can run over a barricade; by my God I can leap over a wall.

³⁰As for God—his way is perfect! The word of Yahweh is pure! He is a shield to everyone who takes refuge in him.
