Psalms 18:22-33

22For all His ordinances were before me, And I did not put away His statutes from me.

23I was blameless before Him, And I kept myself free from my sin.

24Therefore the Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness (moral character, spiritual integrity), According to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.

25With the kind (merciful, faithful, loyal) You show Yourself kind, With the blameless You show Yourself blameless,

26With the pure You show Yourself pure, And with the crooked You show Yourself astute.

27For You save an afflicted and humble people, But bring down those [arrogant fools] with haughty eyes.

28For You cause my lamp to be lighted and to shine; The Lord my God illumines my darkness.

29For by You I can crush a troop, And by my God I can leap over a wall.

30As for God, His way is blameless. The word of the Lord is tested [it is perfect, it is faultless]; He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.

31For who is God, but the Lord? Or who is a rock, except our God,

32The God who encircles me with strength And makes my way blameless?

33He makes my feet like hinds’ feet [able to stand firmly and tread safely on paths of testing and trouble]; He sets me [securely] upon my high places.
