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.
28You, O Lord, will be my light; by you, my God, the dark will be made bright for me.
29By your help I have made a way through the wall which was shutting me in; by the help of my God I have gone over a wall.
30As for God, his way is completely good; the word of the Lord is tested; he is a breastplate for all those who put their faith in him.
31For who is God but the Lord? or who is a Rock but our God?
32God puts a strong band about me, guiding me in a straight way.
33He makes my feet like roes' feet, and puts me on high places.
34He makes my hands expert in war, so that a bow of brass is bent by my arms.
35You have given me the breastplate of your salvation: your right hand has been my support, and your mercy has made me great.
36You have made my steps wide under me, so that my feet are kept from slipping.
37I go after my haters and overtake them; not turning back till they are all overcome.
38I will give them wounds, so that they are not able to get up: they are stretched under my feet.
39For I have been armed by you with strength for the fight: you have made low under me those who come out against me.
40By you their backs are turned in flight, so that my haters are cut off.
41They were crying out, but there was no one to come to their help: even to the Lord, but he gave them no answer.
42Then they were crushed as small as dust before the wind; they were drained out like the waste of the streets.
43You have made me free from the fightings of the people; you have made me the head of the nations: a people of whom I had no knowledge will be my servants.
44From the time when my name comes to their ears they will be ruled by me: men of other countries will, with false hearts, put themselves under my authority.
45They will be wasting away, they will come out of their secret places shaking with fear.
46The Lord is living; praise be to my Rock, and let the God of my salvation be honoured.
47It is God who sends punishment on my haters, and puts peoples under my rule.
48He makes me free from my haters; I am lifted up over those who come up against me: you have made me free from the violent man.
49Because of this I will give you praise, O Lord, among the nations, and will make a song of praise to your name.
50Great salvation does he give to his king; he has mercy on the king of his selection, David, and on his seed for ever.
