Psalms 18:20-36

20Jehovah hath rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.21For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, and have not wickedly departed from my 1God.22For all his ordinances were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me;23And I was upright with him, and kept myself from mine iniquity.24And Jehovah hath recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.25With the gracious thou dost shew thyself gracious; with the upright man thou dost shew thyself upright;26With the pure thou dost shew thyself pure; and with the perverse thou dost shew thyself contrary.27For it is thou that savest the afflicted people; but the haughty eyes wilt thou bring down.28For it is thou that makest my lamp to shine: Jehovah my 2God enlighteneth my darkness.29For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my 3God have I leaped over a wall.30As for 4God, his way is perfect; the word of Jehovah is tried: he is a shield to all that trust in him.31For who is 5God save Jehovah? and who is a rock if not our 6God?32The 7God who girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect,33Who maketh my feet like hinds' [feet], and setteth me upon my high places;34Who teacheth my hands to war, and mine arms bend a bow of brass;35And thou didst give me the shield of thy salvation, and thy right hand held me up; and thy condescending gentleness hath made me great.36Thou didst enlarge my steps under me, and mine ankles have not wavered.
